Debian has a proposal it would like to impliment to support multiple archs in 
linux and in it's own packaging system, but I think they are holding off until 
the next release to start with that.  I have never used the amd64 version, but 
when I followed the mailing list and last time I checked, it was a pure 64 bit 
version with out any 32 bit stuff by default.
