The way Debian chose to do this doesn't make it really easy to mix 32 and
64 bit stuff.  Ubuntu followed suit.  There really isn't a 100% solution
for mixing 32 and 64 bit code, so you really need sets of libraries and
whatnot for both, no matter how you install them.  It's a conspiracy to
sell you more RAM.  ;)
