Why aren't you using a build chroot?  This is actually the cleanest way
of doing what you want to do, since it gives you hermetic builds.   For
example:

https://github.com/tytso/xfstests-bld/blob/master/setup-buildchroot

Note that /usr/include/ext2fs/ext2_types.h contains architecture
specific typedefs, so it won't necessarily be the same on two different
architectures.  You might have gotten lucky with ARM64 and AMD64, but it
might not be true for example between i386 and arch64.  So even if you
try to force things using dpkg --force-overwrite, it might break for
some combinations --- which is why dpkg --force-overwrite is not the
default.

Title:
  libext2fs-dev installation of ARM64 version in parallel to AMD64 not
  possible

Status in e2fsprogs package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I need to build software for both AMD and ARM on one system (build-server)
  Therefore i want to install the libext2fs-dev:amd64 and libext2fs-dev:arm64 in parallel.
  Via apt install this doesn't work  - it always wants to uninstall the other package

      sudo apt install libext2fs-dev:arm64
      ...
      The following packages will be REMOVED:
        libext2fs-dev

  I also cannot use e.g. libarchive-dev:arm64, because it depends on
  libext2fs-dev

  Diff of the data in the two packages (libext2fs-
  dev_1.47.0-2.4~exp1ubuntu4.1_amd64.deb vs libext2fs-
  dev_1.47.0-2.4~exp1ubuntu4.1_arm64.deb) shows no reason for this:
  (headers are the same, binaries are in architecture-specific folders)
