Bug Description

Wine updates are not displayed properly in update-manager. Instead of appearing together in an easily identifiable group, I see the following problems:

- The software group is called "Browse C: Drive", which is a bizarre thing to see in a software updates list and doesn't indicate that it's referring to Wine at all.

- The main Wine package (wine1.7 in my case) is shown beneath the group heading as another copy of the string "Browse C: Drive", which is equally confusing.

- The wine1.7-amd64 package appears within the software group, but the wine1.7-i386 package does not. Instead, the latter shows up all on its own, apart from its amd64 counterpart. This makes them look unrelated, which is misleading, and seems to encourage users to upgrade one without the other.

I'm using the ubuntu-wine PPA on Xubuntu Raring amd64.
