Depend on a package from an other arch

[Bertrand Marc]

Hello team,

I am trying to fix Debian bug #783875 [1]: playonlinux (which is arch
independant) should depend on the 32 bits version of wine. Therefore I
added a dependency on wine32|wine32-development, but it seems the
package will not migrate to testing [2], because wine32 is not available
on amd64.

If I understand correctly, I should instead add a dependency on
wine32:any | wine32-development:any and ask the wine maintainer to move
to multiarch:allowed. But the best source on this subject is an Ubuntu
one [3]. I cannot find any reliable Debian source about this.

Could you confirm that I understand this correctly ? Or do you know any
package with a dependency on a package from an other arch ?

Thanks,
Bertrand
