Dear max, That is essentially what I was wondering - I don't think all the possible deps are needed for wine. Ofcourse there may be use cases I am not aware of, but wine is quite a unique package with a lot of possible deps because it is designed to operate in many environments. I don't believe all of the possible deps are warranted on osx, but I do understand the benefit of giving users all the options for binary packages, which is why I suggested using recommends for certain deps.
Anyway, my two cents, I'm of course happy to adhere to finks packaging policy. Max: iirc you could even do without jack as there used to be a coreaudio driver for the mac.
