But.. amd64-pure are my best alpha testers for debpool! Just look at how
many bugs they've filed on it that ended up exposing subtle (and not
so subtle) problems, or the wishlist items that tell me what's really
needed...

(In all seriousness, I do appreciate having alpha testers who are both
willing to put up with the fact that it is, in fact, alpha, and who are
doing a rapidly-growing port that excercises many of the less-tested code
paths simply due to what they need... keep those bugs coming.)
