I'm surprised - I thought Debian had a fairly complete set but I
checked just now and they don't have many.  OpenSUSE's package set is
a bit thin which is also a surprise because we collaborated with them
on packaging in the early days.  (I might be looking in the wrong
place for OpenSUSE).

Does Wine need 32- or 64-bit packages (or both)?
