@LocutusOfBorg: Thanks! After writing my comment I wondered about automating this, but didn't know what to call.

version-string.patch is mainly intended to make upstream's life easier if bugreports are filed directly with them. It gives you this:

$ wine --version
wine-1.8.2 (Debian)

What is Ubuntu usually doing for such things? I'd now suggest to replace 'Debian' with the vendor name (dpkg-vendor --query Vendor).
