In the Spanish mailing list, a user reported a few days ago that he
completely messed up his full wheezy system when he tried to install Wine
in his 64-bits installation. Apparently, the library mix went so bad that
he wanted to completely reinstall wheezy from scratch but this time using
a 32-bits flavour because all the mess.
I suggested him to open a bug report because there should no problems
with multiarch, or at least not the kind of problems that lead the users
to think in a complete OS reinstallation.
To be sincere, I'm a bit reluctant about the multiarch system. I would
prefer playing with it on virtual/testing machines and not yet over
production systems.
