Thanks Simon, for providing a workaround!

So with this knowledge (aptitude and solver3.0 working), this doesn't
seem to be a packaging issue, but rather an issue with the legacy apt
solver. Therefore, I'm adding a bug task for apt.

BTW: Another workaround seems to be forcing the legacy apt solver to
keeping "ubuntu-minimal" around, e.g.:

$ apt install libsdl2-dev:i386 ubuntu-minimal+
