I don't think I got round to updating apt-setup for the new
--add-architecture scheme; but the apt-setup/multiarch template does
exist and I think that at this point it would count as a bug-fix to make
it work properly.  Given that, you could at least boot the installer
with apt-setup/multiarch=i386.

I think that apt-setup/multiarch=i386 should be the default on amd64;
but I'm less sure that I could convince anyone that that deserves a
freeze exception.
