Prevent Wine from creating file associations

The only way that I know of to prevent wine from adding file associations system-wide is to edit /usr/share/wine/wine.inf.
However, the problem with this method is the file is overwritten every time wine is upgraded.
I could change $WINEPREFIX/system.reg, but I will have to do that for every new wineprefix I create.
Does anyone know a better way to achive this?
Perhaps by making /usr/share/wine/wine.inf a config file for the wine package so it does not get overwritten on upgrade.

No. To my knowledge, this would also prevent menu entries from created.
