Hybrid armhf/arm64 system

Dear Experts,

In my ODROID-C2 thread, I mentioned that I was going to try to
set the system up to use arm64 by default but to support armhf
for those packages that are missing or buggy on arm64.  I've not
been very successful with this so far.

Based on some suggestions on the ODROID forum, I have installed
an arm64 base system - which works well.  I have then:

# dpkg --add-architecture armhf
# apt-get update
# apt-get install libc6:armhf

Now I try to install abiword, which doesn't exist for arm64 (at least
it doesn't in jessie):

# apt-get install abiword:armhf

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

Hmmm.  I experiment by trying to install the first dependency, libabiword-3.0:armhf;
I get a similar message with a further list of dependencies. I try installing its 
first dependency, and so on:

libchamplain-0.12-0:armhf
libclutter-1.0-0:armhf
libgtk-3-0:armhf
librest-0.7-0:armhf
libsoup-gnome2.4-1:armhf
libsoup2.4-1:armhf
glib-networking:armhf
libproxy1:armhf

Finally libproxy1:armhf doesn't give an error, but luckily I used -s because
it wanted to remove half of the system:

# apt-get -s install libproxy1:armhf

I get similar results with other packages.

Hopefully, I've missed some simple step needed to make this work.
Or possibly, this is all stuff that has been fixed post jessie.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.



Thanks,  Phil.
