I'm not sure why flex was installed on my system. I had a recent hard drive crash, and had chosen not to backup /sw, so my Fink installation is less than two weeks old. I didn't manually install flex - it was pulled in as a dependency somewhere. It must have been a build dependency, as fink didn't complain when I removed flex.
If I had flex installed, other users might have it installed too. Assuming that the wine package is updated regularly, to cover the potential case of a newer flex package appearing someday, maybe the best answer is a simple Conflicts on flex.
