Can you give me a hint/example how to do this with 'dpkg-deb or something'?
Actually does anybody have working url for the lib64 page,
http://people.debian.org/~gt/lib64/ doesn't work at the moment?

OK.

Ok, I will. Actually I built just with dpkg-buildpackage, but I disabled the
gcc wrapper that defaults to -m64 during compile time (didn't have linux32 at
the time). 'linux32 dpkg-buildpackage' should work just as fine. I didn't
create a debdiff to the mainstream package yet though.

I agree, there are more important things right now. On the other hand, we don't
want to be too far from the main branch, otherwise, it'll be more difficult to
get security or other fixes in easily.
