Oh, I see what the problem is (after unpacking the deb instead of
looking just at the file list):

lrwxrwxrwx 1 mrvn mrvn 18 Jan 21 20:20 lib/ld-linux.so.2 -> /lib32/ld-2.3.2.so

-rwxr-xr-x 1 mrvn mrvn 115K Jul 27 21:09 lib32/ld-2.9.so*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 mrvn mrvn    9 Jan 21 20:20 lib32/ld-linux.so.2 -> ld-2.9.so*

Been a long time since that link was updated. That should be

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Oct 29 09:53 lib/ld-linux.so.2 -> /lib32/ld-linux.so.2*

like the libc6-i386 has on amd64 so it works for in libc6 version.
