Yes, that is also what the bug title says and exaclty what happened by
installing a package that depends on wine.

Unfortunately not, and  it was't helpfull. It seems rather misleading have a package
that seems to be installed correctly but executing it will not produce its
functionality.

The dependecy is actually only fullfilled by providing the true wine functionality.

Thus the suggestion to let the wine64-bin package execute a post-inst script or similar,
to install  the 32bit version, instead of pretending to be wine and delivering only a string.
