#199394 — problem with amd64 architecture

hi,
  get a amd64 deb package (franz, to name it), and converted it to i386,
  using the recommended sequence:

    dpkg-deb -x ../paquet_amd64.deb .
    dpkg -e ../paquet_amd64.deb
    in DEBIAN/control, replaced amd64 by i386
    dpkg-deb -b . ../paquet_i386.deb

but after installing the resulting .deb. I still get a amd64 binary.
What did I miss?
Is there a way to convert the binary itself to i386?

best regards,
--

So you haven't touch the contents of package itself.

See above. No magic here, files provided by package stayed the same.

If the binary was produced by compiling conventional ASM/C/C++ source -
no. Rebuild from the source is required.
