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.

Instructions for unpacking/editing/repacking a deb file: https

Hope this helps anyone who is stuck until the proper fix shows up.
