Bug#783875: (no subject)

PlayOnLinux seems to require that the system wine be 32-bit, even though 
PlayOnLinux is later able to install and manage various 32-bit and 
64-bit versions of wine in the PlayOnLinux sandbox.

Wine package naming changed in Jessie, so at least on amd64, PlayOnLinux 
should now explicitly depend on wine32:i386.  Depending on wine is not 
sufficient, because the wine package is simply a meta-package that 
allows either wine32 or wine64 to be installed, and PlayOnLinux breaks 
when using 64-bit system wine.

I do not know whether or not there are packaging policies regarding this 
sort of dependency, where PlayOnLinux works fine on the amd64 
architecture, but depends on a package from the i386 architecture. In 
any case, I would not want to see PlayOnLinux removed from the amd64 
architecture, as the issue can be worked around by manually adding the 
i386 architecture and installing wine32.
