It's ia32-libs and I actualy strongly recommend mixing the two.

The ia32-libs package takes care of the ld.so.conf and has to care
about any other changes needed to get the 32bit libc working. If
something doesn't work you can file a bug. You also need the package
anyway for several amd64 packages.
