Note to Canonical devs.

dpkg previously read "foreign-architecture i386" in
/etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch.

This key is no longer recognized by dpkg and I guess was consequently
removed from Ubuntu.

dpkg now reads /var/lib/dpkg/arch

You can create /var/lib/dpkg/arch and place the two architectures in it:

amd64
i386

Verify the setup with dpkg --print-architecture and dpkg --print-
foreign-architectures.

Please let us know if you plan to add this file to the dpkg package in
an update to Quantal.

We'll set this by hand in Linux Mint to avoid any potential conflicts
with a future update.

PS: I'm assuming this was overlooked or forgotten here. If multiarch was
disabled in Quantal by design, please accept my apologies for the
assumption.
