Report it to Ubuntu.

Not an Ubuntu bug.

I'm sure Scott is already on the case. Hence the point of the post.

Not an Ubuntu bug.

It's been confirmed on Ubuntu's bug tracker. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... ug/1191276

Binary packages are built by the distros, not here.

That's not entirely true. Its correct that the distros are packaging their own wine binary packages, BUT the one we talk about here is packaged by wine itself.
( ok its made by Scott Richie who has an ubuntu mailing address, but as far as Iunderstand itr he does it for wine and not for ubuntu )

People manually add this package source dircetly from the official wine ressources from the wine team! ( as shown here http://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu )
And I think this is what the wine team wants people/testers to do so they always get feedback for their latest development version.

And THIS package is broken at the moment and gives a lot of trouble to all Ubuntu 12.04 Users ( the actual Long Term Support version of ubuntu ).

( I bet you want feedback from the ubuntuusers using the 1.6 Releasecandidate too! )

No, it isn't. WineHQ does not package binaries, only source code. The Ubuntu instructions you linked to are here as a convenience to users; the repository hosting their packages is on launchpad.net, which is where the link at the bottom of that page leads.

You are right about the developers wanting testers, which is why it's important to report packaging bugs ASAP to the people who can actually fix them. That's not here. This is what happens to packaging bugs filed here:
