Also, please be explicit about what it means to "enable" multiarch in
this context. I presume, but am not certain, that it means to add the
correct foreign architecture (i386 in the case of wine-unstable?),
modify sources.list if needed, and do aptitude update (or equivalent).
If this is wrong or I am missing a step, I would appreciate
enlightenment!
