Have you tried running a 32-bit app that was installed via apt/dpkg ?

If not, I'd recommend installing a simple 32-bit app.  Two things that may happen:
* it may cause the package manager to install some other packages that will fix the problem affecting 32-bit LinuxSusser.
* after installing the 32-bit app, that doesn't run either, in which case investigating why the fully-debian-supported 32-bit app doesn't work, may be a useful next step.

For simplicity's sake, I'd recommend a 32-bit package that you don't already have a 64-bit version installed for, that also has very few dependencies.

Some candidates I would suggest are:
ftp
dc
lsdvd

I strongly suspect there's at least one of those three that you don't already have installed as a 64-bit package, and all three have relatively few dependencies.
