I think some packages is just like this, i.e. it only consists of one single file or some more.

I know, I simply "dislike" to have a package like this that just download an .exe file so I thought I might hear other options about this. Edoardo

I think it's not packager fault if the application is so portable that requires only a crude copy to execute. If the package does what it's asked to a package, therefore to properly install an application and render it properly usable, the package can be considered well done. What does dislike you? Could it be more complex? Btw some fixes should be made to that package. First of all the package could be made better following the wine packaging guidelines [1] to properly prepare the wine environment. Maybe an icon and a desktop shortcut could be added. A dedicated wine prefix will be a good choice. So the package can be heavily enhanced but I think it shouldn't be considered trash just because it will merely copy an executable file and let it run.
