Well, this is really stupid! aptitude sometimes wants to remove
lots of packages just to avoid the package renames, while apt
proposes a right solution (with some easy help)!
For instance, with apt:
cventin:~> apt install -s gir1.2-atk-1.0 libwine:i386
[...]
libwine:i386 is already the newest version (9.0~repack-4).
libwine:i386 set to manually installed.
The following additional packages will be installed:
at-spi2-common at-spi2-core gir1.2-atspi-2.0 gir1.2-girepository-2.0-dev
gobject-introspection gobject-introspection-bin libatk-adaptor
libatk-bridge2.0-0t64 libatk-bridge2.0-dev libatk1.0-0t64 libatk1.0-dev
libatspi2.0-0t64 libatspi2.0-dev libgirepository-1.0-dev
libgirepository1.0-dev libglib2.0-0t64 libglib2.0-0t64:i386 libglib2.0-bin
libglib2.0-data libglib2.0-dev libglib2.0-dev-bin python3-mako

Suggested packages:
libgirepository1.0-doc low-memory-monitor low-memory-monitor:i386
libglib2.0-doc python-mako-doc python3-beaker python-markdown-doc
The following packages will be REMOVED:
libatk-bridge2.0-0 libatk1.0-0 libatspi2.0-0 libglib2.0-0 libglib2.0-0:i386
The following NEW packages will be installed:
gir1.2-girepository-2.0-dev gobject-introspection gobject-introspection-bin
libatk-bridge2.0-0t64 libatk1.0-0t64 libatspi2.0-0t64
libgirepository-1.0-dev libgirepository1.0-dev libglib2.0-0t64
libglib2.0-0t64:i386 python3-mako python3-markdown python3-markupsafe
The following packages will be upgraded:
at-spi2-common at-spi2-core gir1.2-atk-1.0 gir1.2-atspi-2.0 libatk-adaptor
libatk-bridge2.0-dev libatk1.0-dev libatspi2.0-dev libglib2.0-bin
libglib2.0-data libglib2.0-dev libglib2.0-dev-bin
12 upgraded, 13 newly installed, 5 to remove and 263 not upgraded.
[...]
Note that all the removes correspond to package renames.
I had to provide libwine:i386, otherwise apt wanted to remove it.
With aptitude, I need to use 'n' 21 times until I reach the right
solution (with an unmet dependency after that, which can be resolved,
though).
cventin:~> aptitude install -s gir1.2-atk-1.0 libwine:i386
libwine:i386 is already installed at the requested version (9.0~repack-4)

Dear all,
I met this bug today while attempting a dist-upgrade on a trixie/sid.
