As an exercise in multiarch I tried installing google-earth-stable_current_i386.deb in according to http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser#Multiarch. Has anybody actually accomplished that? What I ended up with is: dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of google-earth-stable: google-earth-stable depends on lsb-core (>= 3.2). But that is the i386 version of course and I never managed to get out of that hole trying to install it.
I also tried and failed installing lsb-core:i386. lsb-core depends on a bunch of packages providing binaries, like python and make, and, as far as I know, multiarch does not allow co-installation of binaries, but only libraries.
My conclusion would be that you would need python and python:i386 at the same time, which multiarch does not support.
