Hugh McMaster's reply was already a help, but I need more comments please.
Maybe http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit could help?
The idea there to install *.so symlinks manually might be a big help. For example, Debian wheezy does allow simultaneous install of libfreetype6:i386 and libfreetype6:amd64. (In fact, my system has those both installed now.) It is the -dev versions of those packages which cannot be simultaneously installed on Debian Wheezy. So the appropriate symlink may be all I need (for quite a few packages where the i386 library is installed, but not the -dev version with the symlink).
I will try this symlink idea (which takes me back to my first Linux install in 1996) later today after I get some sleep.
Thanks, Frédéric! I think this might work.
