We talked about this change at UDS https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BetterIntegratedWineSpec

From the spec:
The Wine uninstaller program can have its functionality integrated into gnome-app-install. We add a "Windows Applications" category on the left for Wine apps, except those installed with packages that aren't on the Wine menu. Note that removing these will not require a password.

This requires an upstream change in Wine for it to export metadata about what apps are uninstallable, as well as some new code in gnome-app-install to handle wine uninstalling. We will also need to modify Wine to support the command line. See Console Configuration on Wine's wiki: http://wiki.winehq.org/ConsoleConfiguration

No one's done any work to get Console Configuration into Wine, unfortunately, so the Gnome-App-Install improvements can't even start.
