MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for wine-qqintl [2]:

Package name is wrong. It does not package WINE, only repackages a
third-party .DEB repackage of (supposedly) QQ Messenger for Windows.
It's unclear how the package depends on WINE, and on which one (no
depends= declared).

The package is 6 years old. The maintainer did not respond to a
request for update since 5 years ago. The linked website, www.imqq.com
server is offline. The source, which is a SourceForge repo with .DEB
files has not been updated for the last 6 years.

I think it's safe to delete this package. Nothing else depend on it
and I don't think anyone would need this now. Anyways people surely
could download and run Windows current software in WINE in Deepin as
well.

An Instant Messenger application is also very likely to need up-to-
date clients. So this package is most probably useless now.
