FWIW I modified my wine deb package as described by Marko Friedemann above and got wine 1.6 to install. This requires modest hacking confidence, I don't have exact command lines for you here.
The original wine1.6_1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~ppa1_amd64.deb will likely be in /var/cache/apt/archives. I copied that file to my home dir, gave myself permission to edit, and then unpacked, removed /usr/bin/wine64 and /usr/bin/wine64-preloader, and rebuilt the deb with a new name, then installed it with 'dpkg -i (new-wine-pkg).deb'. That install failed, but then after doing 'apt-get -f install', the wine install completed using the modified package, and wine is now working.
