Put the following in a file under /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/

---- X< --------
DPkg {
        Options {"--force-architecture";};
}
---- X< --------

I've upgraded with that, but i'm not sure it won't break badly (when testing for
the arch in some maintainer scripts maybe?, or when building...). I had
planned to re-install on a new machine anyway.
