I have the same issue on 7.1.35.  
Editing the Debian control file and running dpkg -i worked for me. And prevents `dpkg` from complaining about unmet requirements  
On Windows 11 WSL2 Ubuntu libc6 dependency was not met so I had to fix that too.

```auto
$ dpkg-deb -R foundationdb-clients_7.1.35-1_amd64.deb temp_dir
$ code temp_dir/DEBIAN/control
$ dpkg-deb -b temp_dir custom_fdb_clients_7.1.35-1_amd64.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i custom_fdb_clients_7.1.35-1_amd64.deb
dpkg-deb: building package 'foundationdb-clients' in 'custom_fdb_clients_7.1.35-1_amd64.deb'.

```

This is how the control file looks after setting the Architecture from blank to amd64:

```auto
Architecture: amd64
Depends: adduser, libc6 (>= 2.12)
Description: FoundationDB is a scalable, fault-tolerant, ordered key-value store with full ACID transactions.
