Recommending wine-gecko2.34 and wine-mono4.5.4 is wrong for wine1.8

[Thomas Uhle]

Current stable Wine (version 1.8.0) depends on wine-gecko version 2.40 and wine-mono version 4.5.6, but installing wine1.8 erroneously installs the packages wine-gecko2.34 and wine-mono4.5.4 because of

Recommends: [...], wine-gecko2.34, wine-mono4.5.4

in the binary packages wine1.8-amd64 and wine1.8-i386 respectively. This is forcing manual install of wine-gecko2.40 and wine-mono4.5.6 for a complete and working Wine installation which is annoying.

Could you please correct Recommends dependencies accordingly. Thank you in advance!

temporary work-around fixing Wine installation after installing package wine1.8:

 # apt-get remove wine-gecko2.34 wine-mono4.5.4
 # apt-get remove wine-gecko2.34:i386 ## (only on amd64 platfrom)
 # apt-get install wine-gecko2.40 wine-mono4.5.6
 # apt-get install wine-gecko2.40:i386 ## (only on amd64 platfrom)

the smartest wine is found into ricotz/unstable ppa, which install the the good dependencies. Other ppas are not really maintained nowadays.

As far as I understand ubuntu-wine/ppa is also maintained and it is maintained by the same people maintaining the wine packages in Ubuntu's universe repository. (Latest) wine1.8 in ubuntu-wine/ppa happens to have wrong dependencies which should be fixed before wine1.8 is going to be packaged in Ubuntu 16.04 or 16.10.
