> No. Debian has library multiarch only. This means you can install two libc (x86_64 and i386) but cannot install two bashes (x86_64 and i386). Moreover, "dpkg --print-architecture" will always print your primary arch.

Right, but you can install bash/amd64 and firefox/i386. And you can't
say that is more important than the other. Yes, dpkg knows the
"primary" architecture, but it's not that imporant.
