Description
aptitude is unable to resolve the dependencies needed to install debathena-thirdparty on precise. We should stop using it. This will also fix #1020, maybe.

OK, I really think something more than "aptitude is bad at multi-arch" is going on here. We've already established LP:974504 is an actual bug. The other issue (gettext and gettext:i386 conflicting) is wine's fault. I think something is wrong with Wine, too, because "aptitude install wine1.4-amd64" wants to pull in a bunch of i386 packages. And, oh, hey, look: LP:954029 and LP:975967
I'd rather not rewrite the install to workaround upstream bugs, and would rather pull wine and libcv-dev (or reduce it to libopencv-core-dev) until upstream fixes this. "aptitude -R" is very much not what we want, because it skips _all_ recommendations. What I want is "aptitude --skip-recommendations-if-they-break-things", but that doesn't exist.

auto-update 1.38 when out, so this is done for auto-update.
Installer committed in r25722, but we can't fully kill it until Hardy is gone.
I'll note that "aptitude -R" will install thirdparty just fine, and is perhaps what we want?
