You can't use native ntdll.dll. And explanation why is given in the link
you posted, did you actually read it yourself?

Yes, it explains very well: "It includes a number of kernel-mode
functions". But Debian uses Linux kernel, not Windows kernel, so it cannot
work.

And you do not need to use it anyway. Wine does have implementation of
ntdll.dll (so the check if you have it should have succeeded because it does
exist). So what you need is to understand why your application gave you the error.
You did not post your terminal output so I cannot help you with this without
it. But I can tell you that if your application is using copy "protection"
rootkit or something like that it will never work in Wine. If you think your
application does not have such a "protection" you should try again in clean
Wine prefix with latest Wine 1.4-rc2. If it does not work, post your terminal
output.
