It's a key component to using the force architecture flag of dpkg.
I happen to run Opera in a 32bit chroot which is easy to setup. http://cedegawiki.sweetleafstudios.com//index.php?title=Ubuntu&redirect=no#Building_a_clean_32bit_chroot_with_debbootstrap_on_AMD64 The only real issue I've ever run into that didn't have an easy fix was compiling some apps on 64bit. But it's only a matter of time before the applications are fixed up for 64bit. Non of these have been standard or every day type stuff, always way niche things.
