I used interactive aptitude and it can't install chromium:i386 because
it can't find a candidate for the chromium-inspector dependency.

That's what they want you to think! No, for dependency resolution
purposes, arch:all is equivalent to arch:{dpkg's primary arch}. There
are arcane reasons for this, which I only half-understand so I can't
easily explain. The short version:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec#Dependencies_involving_Architecture:_all_packages
The workaround is, for an arch:all package that really should be
Multi-Arch: foreign, to explicitly state that it is Multi-Arch:
foreign.
