Ok there is a reason behind this. The initial tought was that just because you
install the arts part of wine together with wine you have to install half of kde
alongside it. So I started with splitting out arts (looking at the debian
example of how they solved this) but if you do this for one sound module you
need to do it for all the sound models to be consistant hence:
libwine-arts-0.9-1
libwine-esd-0.9-1
libwine-jack-0.9-1
libwine-alsa-0.9-1
libwine-nas-0.9-1

After that the debian split up actually made sense: e.g. libwine-cms-0.9-1
requires something not everybody will want just like libwine-gl or -twain or...
the other special things. So if you really want wine split up consistantly the
debian approach makes sense.

For me however I am lazy and I like to have whole wine installed and I would
suspect that there is a certain user group which has never even heard about what
half of the libwine- suffixes mean so they will want to have wine work and not
fiddel with this stuff so I created wine-suite (see koffice-suite for another
example of this).

Third an last to the naming sheme: actually all the things in the libwine
packages are 'libs' and if you would like to link a program against them you
would think this is called libsomething so the name libwine. For the -devel
however I used both names so that both fronts are covered as this packages makes
sense for wine-devel and libwine-devel and I would say there is no harm in that.
