Ofcourse there may be use cases I am not aware of, but wine is quite a unique package with a lot of possible deps because it is designed to operate in many environments. I don't believe all of the possible deps are warranted on osx, but I do understand the benefit of giving users all the options for binary packages, which is why I suggested using recommends for certain deps.

I don't know enough about wine to know what dependencies are the most
useful.   If someone else wants to take over evaluating the updates,
go for it.
