Here's an attempt at a shortened allowed-packages template:

_Description: 32-bit packages to use:
 Please choose how much of the package management system ia32-apt-get
 should be granted the power to interfere with:
  * None - ia32-apt-get will not interfere with the package management
    system. This option disables 32-bit support via ia32-apt-get.
  * Libraries - ia32-apt-get will create and install 32-bit versions of
    libraries (recognizable by the prefix "ia32-" in the package name).
  * All - ia32-apt-get will also create and install 32-bit versions of
    applications. This is required if you want to be able to download and
    install third-party applications such as Skype. This option requires
    /etc/apt/preferences to be modified to ensure 64-bit packages are
    always preferred when available, as described in
    /usr/share/doc/ia32-apt-get/README.Debian.gz.

(Patch attached)

The package synopses could be more DevRef-compliant, too, but
otherwise the control file's okay.  Mind you, that posted version's
in iso-8859-15.
