I found a way to install wine via Synaptic:

Before you begin, make sure all wine* and wine-gecko* packages are removed (I'm not sure if that's necessary, but that was my starting point in trying to work around this problem).

First, select to install the "wine" package. It will warn you that it's going to mark debhelper (etc) for removal. Go ahead and let it mark them.

Next, go to Custom Filters > Marked Changes, and for each thing it wanted to remove (red), right click the package and choose "Unmark".

Finally, choose "Apply" and it should complete successfully.

Good luck!
