Sigh. That is not helpful! That is the Y part of an XY Problem. What is the X part of the problem? Against my better judgement I will answer even though you are avoiding helping. If I were wanting to create a 32-bit Debian package from a 32-bit rpm package (can't imagine why) on a 64-bit machine then I would create a 32-bit Debian chroot on the 64-bit system. Then I would buid the 32-bit Debian package from the rpm in the chroot. Also if I were doing it I would avoid alien and instead would unpack the rpm using rpm2cpio into a directory of files. Then I would deal with the location handling of those files specifically for that package. Meaning renaming files appropriately to match Debian conventions. Then package up the resulting bundle. Creating a 32-bit chroot on a 64-bit system is trivial using debootstrap. Here is a reference. https://wiki.debian.org/chroot Bob
