Not being a DD, my thoughts may be meaningless here; but as an amd64 Debian user, I think I should speak in defence of Goswin. If I understand well, ia32-libs was not acceptable in its state for ftp- masters. I think that having all the ia32-* packages would not be acceptable either. The right thing would be to have multi-arch, but it will come when it's ready (that's not a bad thing). Waiting for multi-arch, Goswin's system permits me to use wine (and chromium browser) on my 64bits Debian. Of course, Goswin made mistakes as ia32-apt-get does not warn the user about the need of pining i386 packages and try to install converted binary ones. But his propositions to limit the conversion to library packages may solve the issue. Maybe all of this should go to experimental (is there a problem with wine depending on experimental packages for amd64?) but thank you Goswin for your work.
