Jean-Louis, thanks for preparing this patch. Unfortunately, before uploading it, I wanted to run the integration tests (test-multiarch-foreign) to make sure the bug is actually fixed; and it doesn't appear that it is:

FAIL

This clearly shows dependencies being followed as i386 packages on amd64; so something seems to be missing here.

Attached is the test-multiarch-foreign that I've ported back to the oneiric version of apt, for reference.
