Bug description:
  If a user wants 32-bit only wine, a reasonable way to get it would be
  to install wine1.4:i386.  However, this is not possible on amd64.
  Currently apt spews this complaint:

   wine1.4:i386 : Depends: wine1.4-i386:i386 (= 1.4.1-0ubuntu4)
                  Recommends: gnome-exe-thumbnailer:i386 but it is not installable or
                              kde-runtime:i386 but it is not going to be installed
                  Recommends: ttf-droid:i386 but it is not installable
                  Recommends: ttf-liberation:i386 but it is not installable
                  Recommends: ttf-umefont:i386 but it is not installable
                  Recommends: ttf-unfonts-core:i386 but it is not installable
                  Recommends: ttf-wqy-microhei:i386 but it is not installable
                  Recommends: winetricks:i386 but it is not going to be installed
                  Recommends: xdg-utils:i386 but it is not installable

  gnome-exe-thumbnailer, xdg-utils, and the fonts are arch: all and
  should be marked multiarch:foreign to indicate that it is ok to
  install them for the nonnative wine1.4 (they are cross-arch shell
  scripts).  winetricks is currently arch i386 and amd64 and should
  probably be marked arch: all (especially for upcoming arm wine).

  apt will then freak out about conflicts and give up.  apt-get --no-
  install-recommends wine1.4:i386, however, will actually complete.  I'm
  not sure this is correct behavior for apt, as in principle it should
  be able to figure out that it can succeed with the command by omitting
  recommended packages.
