It's intentional, in the sense that the manpages should go along with
the corresponding binary. So the wine manpage is installed when the wine
binary is installed, which in a wow64 setup means on the 32-bit side
(arguably we should also have a wine64 manpage installed on the 64-bit
side).

I'm not sure I understand why it would be a problem to have the 32-bit
package install manpages. What issues do you see?
