[Wine] Lucid LTS: different Wine versions for 32 or 64 bits ?

Hello, 

I 've been using Wine 1.2 wjth Ubuntu 10.04-LTS an a 64bit Asus laptop for almost one year.
In the beginning, everything worked OK (graphic refresh, focus, etc...). Now Wine works bad, I suppose some updates in Lucid do not suit Wine 1.2 (?). I tried XP mode, W98 mode (my applications are oldies ;-), but the behaviour seems bad in any case.
On this laptop, synaptic shows Wine 1.2 installed and unused packets to install 1.3. 
I would like to shift to 1.3, but how do I backup Wine 1.2 (except for a complete image of my system) ?

I have an other PC, a 32bit Athlon desktop, running Ubuntu 10.04-LTS too, always updated as proposed.  On this PC, actually running no Wine, Synaptic shows packets only for Wine 1.2 (and 1.0).

Does it mean I have to install 1.2 to "see" a possible shift to 1.3, on does 1.3 only run on 64bits PCs ??

Thanks for your advice.
