I'd like to propose one (or in fact: two) i386 package for the extras
x86_64 tree: wine. It's under development/review in Bug 171526. This
would require that we put lcms.i386 from extras in the x86_64 tree, too.
All other i386 deps are in core afaics.

wine.x86_64 itself should not be build, because that does not
compile/work currently (afaik). It would be pretty pointless anyway
because it could only run x64 binaries.


Disclaimer: No, I'm not interested in wine. I have used WinOS/2 long
enough to try to avoid similar things. But I got involved in this
discussion somehow...
