No, I propose adding 4-6 more debs to the i386 sid (and 10 days later
to sarge) to add some amd64 support to i386. About the same amount as
sparc64 has in sparc, s390x in s390 or powerpc64 in powerpc.
With that users could run a 64 bit PostgreSQL while keeping the rest
of the system i386 stable. Or use the 8GB ram they bought while still
using i386 stable.

Since it can be achived within the sarge release plan with minimal
work I see no reason not to do it now.
