There's no conflict. The wine-mono and wine-gecko packages can just install into /usr/share/wine as Rosanne explained regardless if which Wine version, if any, is installed there. The msi filenames include the version number, so all versions can theoretically coexist there. The Wine packages can then just depend on (or recommend/suggest) the versions they need.

FYI, it's been on my todo list to add wine-mono and wine-gecko packages for WineHQ. I already have ones for Fedora on the OBS, though we're not officially distributing them yet (still need to create Debian/Ubuntu ones). All they do is install the prebuilt .msi files to /usr/share/mono and /usr/share/gecko.
I'd suggest for winehq wine-mono/wine-gecko packages to install to /opt, not /usr. Otherwise you'd quickly run into the need for new lists of "Conflicts:" and similar.
For this to work I think we just need to slightly adjust dlls/appwiz.cpl/addons.c. Vincent already referenced in another mail the comments found there:
/* * Try to find addon .msi file in following order: * - directory stored in $dir_config_key value ofHKCU/Software/Wine/$config_key key * - $datadir/$addon_subdir/ * - $INSTALL_DATADIR/wine/$addon_subdir/ * - /usr/share/wine/$addon_subdir/ * - download from URL stored in $url_config_key value of HKCU/Software/Wine/$config_key key */
So maybe just add code for /opt/$addon_subdir/ before "download"?
