Because of lack of communication during the development process the
efforts of Goswin have been removed from Debian: the 'ia32-apt-get' and
'ia32-libs-tools' packages were removed from the archives by the FTP
master, and Goswin's appeal of the removal was rejected. See bug #535645.
For now, the officially supported solution is 'ia32-libs' again. The
officially-supported multiarch solution is on the way relatively soon,
so you'll have to decide whether to keep Goswin's no-longer-official
packages until it arrives, or remove Goswin's packages and go back to
'ia32-libs'.

specification here:
