No, no - it only *searches* in /lib/ for ld-linux.so.3 because on armel
it is ld-linux.so.3 and not ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 as on amd64 or
ld-linux.so.2 as it is named on i386 (and others). Because your host is
not armel, apt-file does not find it. If you search on
packages.debian.org you will find that on armel there exist
/lib/ld-linux.so.3 - indeed it is a symbolic link to
/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi/ld-2.13.so because of multiarch.  Sorry that I
was misleading in what I said.

Because there is no package that provides /etc/qemu-binfmt/arm. You have
to put whatever you need there manually as explained below:

Use this to produce a directory tree of shared libraries you put in
/etc/qemu-binfmt/arm/.

Hopefully multiarch will soon allow to directly install everything in
/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi/.
