Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-app-install

WINE's entry in the Add/Remove Programs List lists WINE as "Wine Windows Emulator." This is incorrect: WINE is a compatibility layer, not an emulator. In fact, the acronym "WINE" stands for "WINE Is Not an Emulator." This listing should be changed to "Wine Windows Compatibility Layer" or "Wine Compatibility Layer."
