Right, so that's indeed not a viable option.

It might be, although I suspect dpkg might be too low-level: if feasible, having a hint at the apt/aptitude level would be much better and much more user friendly. Either way, this seems to be a more general problem than wine. You probably stumbled upon it among the first, because wine is both a popular package and has been quick in jumping on the multi-arch train. If you've time to follow it, I suggest discussing it on -devel in order to devise a best practice; it might be useful for others as well.
