I wanted to try out preseeding apt-setup/multiarch to i386 but before
doing it, I reviewed apt-setup's handling of this option and I discovered
that it actually creates the configuration file used by the early Ubuntu
implementation of multiarch (which relied on the --foreign-architecture
command line option instead of the single dpkg --add-architecture call).
This means that it actually breaks dpkg since the current version of dpkg
doesn't underestand the --foreign-architecture command-line option.
Here's an untested patch:

IMO it would be nice to have this fixed in wheezy but it's not required
either.
Cheers,
