This is an unfortunate divergence between Debian and Ubuntu syntax.

On debian (dpkg 1.16.3 or later) it is: 
 dpkg --add-architecture armel
On Ubuntu (dpkg 1.16.1 to < 1.16.3) it is: 
 echo "foreign-architecture armel" > /etc/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch

That should allow $package:armel as well as $package:armhf packages to
be installed, but I don't know if that will actually solve your problem.

Wookey
