--force-* option should never be used in general, so the real fix is to use multiarch, so yes put foreign-architecture i386 and either fix the dependent package to set Multi-Arch: foreign if they are allowed fo fullfil foreign dependencies or install the package of the corresponding architecture to properly satisfy dependencies. Unfortunately it's too late for natty to make any such changes.
