Well, this is not really related to #758312 since this one is indeed about the package names and the transition -unstable --> -development. Anyway; afaik it was a long standing goal to make both wine versions (including their 32bit and 64bit versions) coinstallable. This I would really like to see. Still I agree that working directly with the suffix'ed versions really is a pain and does not meet user's expectations. Therefore in bug #758291 ([wine-development] Please use Debian's alternative system) I requested/suggested an actual solution which imho should make us all happy. Without it I would tend to prefer your solution. I think we are finally quite close to actually get the wine packages that were planned for many painful years now (again a so huge thank you to Michael here). I hope to send a first patch to #758291 tomorrow which implements the alternative system at least for the -development packages. I CC'd that bug because I think discussing this topic is more appropriate there (or directly at the pkg-wine-party list).
