Am I blind or there is no winetricks for Wine 1.5.1?
I have 1.5.1 Wine and when I want to install winetricks, synaptic lists Wine 1.4 as dependency for it >.<
Ubuntu 12.04 etc

That's an Ubuntu packaging problem. Wine developers provide only source for the program and don't do any packages for distributions also winetricks is a separate project.
You could install the latest version of winetricks by yourself without any packaging. I'm doing it this way:
wget http://winetricks.googlecode.com/svn/tr ... winetricks
sudo cp winetricks /usr/bin
if it's not working you probably need to make it executable:
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/winetricks
When you want to update it you have to remove the old winetricks because if you don't the new downloaded with wget will be named winetricks.1
rm -f winetricks
or delete it from file manager (Nautilus, Dolphin) and then repeat the above steps. This way you always have the latest winetricks with updates and new recipes (for example for dotnet40 or rayman2_demo).
