This bug is a serious problem, as there is a bug in Avahi that causes it to hammer the CPU in a busy wireless environment. Wine runs fine without it, please remove the dependency. Thanks!

I really need to uninstall avahi, It causes heavy slowdowns when computers of my network try accessing my local webservers. But I still need wine, that's a real pain.
