Bug#685054: Break wine opengl support on amd64

I use btrfs for my root filesystem so I created a snapshot, booted into it and
gave it a try with upgrading the wine and nvidia-packages to unstable (btrfs is awesome btw!).

Opengl in wine still worked fine for me with nvidia driver version 304.37-1
and wine version 1.4.1-2. So I cannot confirm the reported behavior. It is
a problem however that libxvmc1 has not been converted to multiarch yet.

If you look at the dependencies of ia32-libs in unstable, you'll see that
it is only a transitional package that depends on i386 packages. So if you
installed that, multiarch is already enabled on your system.

dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
should state "i386"

If you install wine, use the apt-get switch "--no-install-recommends" if
you don't want things like libnss-ldap:i386. The important packages I have
on my system regarding wine and nvidia are:
wine libwine-alsa:i386 libwine-gl:i386 nvidia-glx libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386
nvidia-kernel-dkms xserver-xorg-video-nvidia

Without libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386 you won't have opengl support in wine with the nvidia driver.
Unfortunately there is a problem with libxvmc1, the packages are not converted
to multiarch yet.
I solved this by altering the packages myself and what can i say.. works fine
for me.
If you'd like further information on that feel free to contact me (auch gerne
auf deutsch) ;)

Stefan
