OK, I have resolved the problem, and you can close this bug. What I did was more aggressively install amd64 packages. I'm afraid I did this somewhat at random, but at least I can show you the final configuration. You will receive another mail from me sent with reportbug, but I can't see where that shows which packages are amd64 and which are i386. So that information is appended for this email. Again, thank you for all your help!
