Well, that is the rub.  At least if I interpret correctly what
I was told some time ago nspluginwrapper.x86_64 only does not
make any sense.  You need it with nspluginwrapper.i386 or not
at all.  Can you really come up with a scenario in which
nspluginwrapper.x86_64 alone is needed?  What for?

OTOH if libflashsupport.x86_64 is required by swfdec.x86_64
(that is hypothetical as I do not know if this is really the
case), or by something else, then you do not want to pull in
nspluginwrapper.i386 with it and everything else which this
entails.  That would be a dependency bug.
