The expected layout in squeeze/sid is (at least it is here)

/lib
/lib32
/lib64 -> /lib
/usr/lib
/usr/lib32
/usr/lib64 -> lib

I don't understand why your links are different but libc6-i386 should
really cope with that. So go ahead and file a bug.

As for fixing it you need to remove the link and reinstall every
package that has files in /lib32. Then check if any package has files
left in /emul/ia32-linux/ and update/remove them before removing what
remains of /emul/ia32-linux/.
