Indeed, without M-A: foreign in the binary package, winetricks may
become uninstallable on amd64 because anything winetricks
depends/recommends will be forced to be i386 versions of the packages.

In the case of things like called executables, winetricks is completely
capable of using the native arch version, and if it's already installed
will create a "conflict" with the i386-version winetricks tries to install.

Basically, if a package itself doesn't care about the arch of its
dependencies so long as they work on the host system (eg because it's a
script like winetricks), then it should be Multi-Arch: foreign
