Install armhf lib on X86 via apt-get

I am trying to install libluetooth-dev on my laptop, but not the x86 version, the armhf one. I'm on Ubuntu 16.04. Here is how I've tried to do it:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture armhf

I then added

deb [arch=amd64,i386] http://uk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial main universe 
deb [arch=armel,armhf] http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports xenial main universe

To /etc/apt/sources.list

Then I tried:

sudo dpkg --configure -a   
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -f install

Finally:

sudo apt-get install libbluetooth-dev:armhf

Which outputted:

     Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libbluetooth-dev:armhf : Depends: libbluetooth3:armhf (= 5.37-0ubuntu5) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I tried to install all dependencies of libluetooth3, but there is just too much. I also tried to grab a .deb file on the net with the lib and to extract the data, but the file that I need (libluetooth.so) is only a symbolic link in the archive, so I guess that apt is compiling it on install and then updating the dynamic link.

Thanks for your help!
