Well I have never run wine but ISTM that you must be new or don't know
how to use the debian tools. So, because I am too Hot and tired to be
nasty, I'll try to give you some hints.
/* start - teach how to fish mode */
I just did dpkg -l wine* /* dpkg is a debian tool */
It listed these packages
pn wine <none> (no description available)
pn wine-doc <none> (no description available)
un wine-utils <none> (no description available)
un winesetup <none> (no description available)
un winesetuptk <none> (no description available)
Not being a rocket scientist I picked winesetup as a likely cause of
your dilemma. and used another debian tool, apt-cache, thusly
apt-cache search winesetup
and guess what it reported
winesetuptk - Windows Emulator (Configuration and Setup Tool)
/* end - teach how to fish mode */
Now I hope that you have learned from this Grasshopper. I tend not to
help people who don't use the tools on their system to at least 'try'
to find a solution.
This may not be the package you need, but know you have an idea how to
find what you need, anyway.
Good Night
