You dont need to use the tar ball from John's site. You can deboostrap a chroot if you have a 64bit kernel from Kurt's repository. You can find more about how to do it from this e-mail http://lists.debian.org/debian-amd64/2004/04/msg00111.html
Yes, I did a 64bit installation into a chroot like that a couple of days ago, but using cdebootstrap, but otherwise like all the other steps described in the e-mail. I had to compile some packages for my own to get all dependencies met after the installation, but that is not a big problem, since most of the packages are building out of the box, and the two which did not just lacked a -lresolv at the link line (maybe a bug?).
