[Bug 500880] [NEW] Wine recommends Winbind

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: wine

Winbind creates and launches a service on the user's computer for the
purpose of authenticating the machine on a Microsoft-based LDAP/AD
network. While this may be a extremely useful functionality for some
people (likewise-open does something similar), is by no means essential
to running Windows applications.

Currently apt-get installs recommends packages by default. Thus I
believe Winbind should be downgraded to "suggests".
