Preferably (my opinion) it should be split three ways:
1. Common problems
2. Installing biarch and biarch problems
3. Installing pure64 and pure64 problems
(2/3 should be ordered by what works best currently)
The common problems could have references into 2 and 3 like "How do I
install Debian amd64 and what options do I have?" that would briefly
explain the two flavours and link to 2 and 3 respectively.
