I just thought I would have a try, having never done any kind of 
packaging before, when I noticed failed previous attempts in the logs, 
with links to 
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2015/08/msg00269.html in the 
previous commit messages and the followup which makes it look quite 
tricky...

Do you know if anything has changed since then?  Any new information 
etcetera?

If not, perhaps we go about this the wrong way, instead of bringing a 
32-bit arch to the user, we should bring the user to the 32-bit arch... 
i.e. at the end of the install we can detect if wine32 or 
wine32-development has been installed, and if not, notify the user that 
they should install it... does that sound possible?

Also I now see that the perl-transition has removed playonlinux from 
testing... did that occur because of this bug?  I.e. because we have a 
newer (broken control file) version in sid?  Or because of the 
transition itself?  If the former we should definitely just remove this 
dependency to allow playonlinux before continuing our tests to get it to 
install.

Best,
Jack
