I thought I remembered that wine:amd64 depended on wine32 which is only
available on i386, but in fact it depends on wine64|wine32, so QA tools
are happy with the situation.
It seems a little odd that wine64 would be the preferred dependency,
since I would guess that most users of Wine are still more interested in
running 32-bit Windows software (I've certainly never wanted to run
Win64 stuff), but presumably the Wine maintainers have done the research
and determined that upgrades from wheezy behave acceptably.
