[pkg-wine-party] Bug#731146: Wine64 does not work with 32-bits applications

[LOMBARD Maxime]

Package: wine64
Version: 1.6.1-5

Dear mainteners,

Wine64 + libwine amd64 install only the files to create a 64-bits
wineprefix which allow to run only 64-bits applications. If a Debian user
install "wine64", he'll can not install 32-bits applications in her
wineprefix.

Wine's dev propose to install (in 32/64 bits systems) :
- 32-bits wine (like wine32)
- WoW64 shared wine.

How works WoW64 shared wine in 64-bits system :
1- Both wine libraries are installed (32 bits and 64 bits)
2- ALL wine 64-bits bin loader are installed (winecfg, wine64,
wine64-preloader etc...)
3- Only 2 wine 32-bits bin loader files are installed (wine32,
wine32-preloader)

The solution is to create 2 debian package for each architecture like on
Ubuntu, for example :
- wine64 package which contains all binary files WITHOUT wine64,
wine64-preloader
- wine32 package which contains all binary files WITHOUT wine32,
wine32-preloader
- libwine64 package which contains all library files + wine64,
wine64-preloader
- libwine32 package which contains all library files + wine32,
wine32-preloader

With this, a 64-Bits debian user will install wine64+libwine64+libwine32
and he can install 32-bits applications in her 64-bits wineprefix.

I hope that it's clear :)

Cheers,
Max
