It seems to have worked using combination of cdebootstrap and
switching to testing instead of sid (which should be sufficient for
me, since I'm really just trying to get firefox running in 32 bit so I
can use the flash plugin). Now I've got another problem. When trying
to apt-get libx11-6, I get

erebus:/# apt-get install libx11-6
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package libx11-6

Does this have to do with the switch to xorg instead of xfee86? If so
is there a different package I should be installing?

Thanks,
