The point is that you could install the 32bit -dev's in a chroot and have the 64bit dev's on the main system. > The common case includes all the DDs tat will go out and buy an amd64 > system next.

You just trippeled the > number of chroots needed. Personally I'm not likely to compile i386 debs on my amd64 system. I expect we're going to continue to have i386 buildd's, and that could be on an amd64 system if someone sets up a chroot for it (and is confident it won't break things). The only time I see this claim as being valid for is prior to libraries being ported to amd64 and in that case those who need it might be better off just installing i386 to begin with. Stephen
