[pkg-wine-party] Bug#758312: Bug#758312: wine-development: please provide an upgrade path

[LOMBARD Maxime]

*Sorry, i sent accidentaly the previous message !!!!*

Actually, the both wine's package in debian repository don't work correctly
when you install the 32-bits and 64-bits package. The installation is fine
but when you launch wine64, a 64-bits prefix is create but it's impossible
to launch and install a 32-bits applications (like explained here
http://wiki.winehq.org/Wine64 section "Building a shared WoW64 setup")

I already explained to Michael how it's possible to use this shared WoW64
setup.
libwine package amd64 *MUST* to contain all librairies present in
"/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu" +  /usr/bin/wine64 file +
/usr/bin/wine64-preloader file
libwine package i386 *MUST* to contain all librairies present in
"/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu" + /usr/bin/wine file + /usr/bin/wine-preloader
file
wine package amd64 / i386 *MUST* to contain the rest of wine's files
present in "/usr/bin" (like winegcc, winecfg etc...)

*THE 64-BITS USERS NEED NECESSARILY LIBWINE AMD64 + I386 PACKAGES AND WINE
AMD64 PACKAGE*
