Hello Steve, or anyone else affected,
Accepted ia32-libs into precise-proposed. The package will build now and
be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Bug description:
The ia32-libs-multiarch package in precise depends on gstreamer0.10
-fluendo-mp3:i386. This is a real package in universe, but also a
virtual package provided by both the gstreamer0.10-fluendo-plugins-
mp3-partner package in partner and the commercial gstreamer0.10
-fluendo-plugins available for purchase in software center. Trying to
install the amd64 versions of either of these other two packages
causes apt to remove gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3:i386, without
installing the corresponding i386 package; and since gstreamer0.10
-fluendo-mp3:i386 is no longer installed, ia32-libs must also be
removed. This is problematic.
The justification for ia32-libs pulling in gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3
in the first place was for wine's benefit; and according to Scott
Ritchie, this is not needed in precise. So we should drop the
dependency on -fluendo- in SRU to fix this wrong conflict.
Ultimately this is a bug in apt's (and possibly dpkg's) conflicts
handling for virtual multiarch:same packages, but that's not fixable
in SRU.
[Regression potential]
Dropping the dependency might cause wine to FTBFS, contrary to Scott's assurances
