Hi Florian,

I think I have a rough idea of what mutliarch is, as I actually use it
daily, and I have never had problems with it :) I have an amd64 devuan
installation, with plenty of :i386 libraries, most of them needed by
applications pre-compiled for i386 (one of these is skype,
unfortunatel, the only non-free package I have to use, besides
firmware-iwlwifi).

Just to make an example:

katolaz@akela:~$ dpkg -l | grep zlib | cut -d " " -f 1-3
ii zlib1g:amd64
ii zlib1g:i386
ii zlib1g-dev:amd64
katolaz@akela:~$

That's why I guessed that your problem with the installation of
libgtkhtml might be related with a known glitch in amprolla, which
causes some upgdates to be erroneously disregarded. For the time
being, your problem might (or might not) possibly be solved by adding
the jessie-backports repository from Debian in your sources.list,
which has worked for me in resolving other issues with mismatching
package versions.
