No, we shouldn't. That'd just lead to conflicts and problems when people
already have Wine installed, and some people may not care about VST's
and not want to use Wine at all. Also it'd cause needless bloat in the
package. All that just to solve a relatively marginal problem. Packagers
would likely just strip away the Wine anyway to prevent issues, so it'd
be a pointless exercise in the end.

We have to remember that we're nowhere near the only software using Wine
out there.
