Sounds cool if that's all that is needed,
but what will still be missing to fully support amd64?
I think it's safer to do it on testing,
and when Sarge+1 comes out to add it on stable.
By the time that Sarge comes out,
we must shout out loud that the amd64 support is not
as good as other platforms.
YES, i know that other people have said it before,
but seems useful remember such kind of thing.

AFAIK, POSIX compliance is not sometihng
as easy as the 32/64 bits thing to be achieved,
but must be pursued too.
