You include a init.d script called "windows" in the wine package. I've 
slightly modified this script, so that it reads now configuration file 
/etc/sysconfig/binfmt_misc and can now register any file type. You may want to 
include it into the distribution.

Comment 2 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2002-06-25 12:02:02 UTC 
Assigning back to initscripts: The RFE is to replace the wine-specific  
solution with a generic binfmt_misc script (take a look at the attached file),  
and such a thing should not live in the wine package (while wine should use 
it).
Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2005-02-22 20:44:45 UTC 
Closing out bugs on older, no longer supported releases. Apologies for any lack
of response. Please reopen if it persists on current releases.

I disagree with the assessment posted above; registration should be done by the
appropriate binary handlers that need it.
