Small addition. The reason that wine breaks there is that libc6-i386 is missing a Breaks: <wine packages> and wine is missing a Pre-Depends: libc6-i386 (>= 2.9-18). The existing wine packages (if they are to be kept) need to to the lib32 link -> directory transition. Just one more SNAFU of libc6, not my fault.
