Multiarch works well now so such hacks are not necessary.

If you use --force-architecture to install something, that means that apt (and 
thus synaptic) does not know about it.  There is no need for synaptic to jump 
through hoops to support this, instead you should configure multiarch on this 
system:
# dpkg --add-architecture i386
# apt-get update

In any case, I believe that from Ubuntu 12.04, amd64 systems are
expected to have i386 configured also and many packages require this
(e.g. wine).

** Changed in: synaptic (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid
