But it comes down to a simple rebuild (as was already done with 1.4). Somebody just needs to step up and upload wine1.6 to the Ubuntu repositories. Sadly, I don't have the rights to do that.
If there are doubts that this will introduce regressions, I suggest we just keep wine pointing to wine1.4 and allow people to install wine1.6 manually.
This bug currently breaks wine1.6 in the ppa https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ wine/+bug/ 1207716
