Comment 1 for bug 500880

Wine uses winbind for ntlm_auth, which is essential to any Windows program that uses it. If you remove winbind and try to run these programs, the error message is cryptic if even visible at all (requires the user to be running within a terminal).

If simply installing winbind causes some breakage that you're trying to prevent, then that is a bug in the winbind package and not in Wine.
