The idea there to install *.so symlinks manually might be a big help.
For example, Debian wheezy does allow simultaneous install of
libfreetype6:i386 and libfreetype6:amd64. (In fact, my system has
those both installed now.) It is the -dev versions of those packages
which cannot be simultaneously installed on Debian Wheezy. So the
appropriate symlink may be all I need (for quite a few packages where
the i386 library is installed, but not the -dev version with the
symlink).

I will try this symlink idea (which takes me back to my
first Linux install in 1996) later today after I get some sleep.

Thanks, Frédéric!  I think this might work.
