multiarch-support can't be directly installed because of dependency on libc6
multiarch-support depends on libc6 (>= 2.3.6-2); however: Package libc6 is not installed.
It appears that we actually need to repeat the partial installation and tricking the database, but this time for libc6 and so that would come first before multiarch-support.
With that in mind, we would also need to reinstall libc6 as well after being able to install multiarch-support. Obviously this is something that I had missed while writing the original guide.

Looking, I am not seeing any "--reinstall" option for dpkg.
Update:
I am getting them installed by changing the status back to not installed from installed, then reentering the install command
