It is impossible for a package to install another from its postinst; dpkg has a lock to prevent multiple simultaneous invocations, and postinst scripts are run under the dpkg lock. Perhaps the postinst could enable i386 multiarch, but that is an intrusive change and it would be hard to ensure it would work (e.g. if the user has configured architecture-specific mirrors for apt); it seems better to me to just tell the user what to do, until i386 multiarch becomes the default for amd64...
