I want to have *a* 64-bit AMD port. It doesn't really matter to me if it 
has 32-bit support built in alongside 64-bit since I'm not likely to use 
it. What matters is the native 64-bit support.

32/64 multiarch is not likely to be ready by time Sarge rolls out - 
64-bit only has a better chance.

So I think that now we should get pure Amd64 into Sid, and then we can 
worry about  multiarch.
