Howto: Install the Latest wine in Ubuntu Intrepid!

Previously I made this howto for Ubuntu Hardy, here is an updated post for Intrepid
Here is a quick way to add the winehq repository so you dont need to wait for the ubuntu community to add the latest wine.
Open up a terminal Applications->Accessories->Terminal
Now copy/paste these commands:
Adding the gpg apt key:
wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
Lets add the Repository via wget:
sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/intrepid.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list
Now lets update our apt sources and install the latest wine!
sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install wine
Ok now you will always have the latest development wine package installed!

Thanks def, this is one of those smart, boiled down howtos I have come to treasure transitioning from Windows to Linux. Can you tell me, would the following DirectX 9 Wine howto break my Intrepid Wine setup? http://howto.landure.fr/gnu-linux/install-directx.... If it wouldn't, can you give me a few tips on how best to do this?
when attempting to update via update manager:
E: Type '<!DOCTYPE' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/source.list.d/winehq.list

but thx anyways :)
