Hi Alexandre great to see you working on wine-mono (although personally I never needed it). I guess you'll put this under the wine-team umbrella?

When I worked on disable/addons-download.patch I figured that the checksums are only checked if the wine-gecko/mono installer is loaded from home, but not when loaded from /usr/share. That's what I put into README.debian. Please verify. btw, the command is always "wine" (not wine64 or wine32), e.g. "wine msiexec /i winemono.msi". Wine will then figure out internally which Wine loader to use. This is true both upstream and in Debian. Greets jre
