Not always. If the user wants to run Windows games (which are usually
32bit) he'll need the 32bit version of wine even on amd64 systems. Most
users are trying to capture World of Warcraft or other similar windows
games so that's why they're trying to build the 32bit version of yukon.

That's quite unfortunate. How should I explain my users to install the
package on amd64 systems? Not everybody has access to a 32bit ubuntu box.

The 32bit libXv.so.1 should be part of ia32-libs as indicated by the
other bug report, libXv.so (along with libX11.so and other 32bit
development libraries) should be part of ia32-libs-dev (if you indeed
decide to create that package).
