I must confess I'm not up-to-date about the current way of multiarch in Debian. AFAIK, the chroot thing is only the last resort. Then, there was a time with fat (multiarch) binaries (the Apple way), but this seems to be abandoned. Or not, I don't know. Then, there is some magic with ia32-apt-get which installs i386 packages side-by-side on amd64 systems. That's the approach I had in mind, and this would work: an amd64 user in need for 32bit jack clients would have two libjack0 packages, one amd64 and one i386 version. I don't think there's consensus in Debian to automatically ship 32bit libs in 64bit-packages, but if somebody has better knowledge, I'm happy to add the four lines it'll take to support it.
