If you use schroot, it takes care of setting up the Linux personality 
for you, just as linux32 does, so you don't need both.  If your uname(2) 
call returns i[3456]86, then your system will be treated as i386, and 
i386 packages will be built.  If it returns x86-64, then it will be 
treated as amd64.  Linux personality support allows modifying the 
uname(2) call, so packages will be compiled and built properly.
