You shouldn't need any flags anywhere as long as you have a deb-src line 
for nerim and the dpkg-dev package (which has dpkg-buildpackage).  I 
actually just built this program for amd64 and what I ended up doing is 
a loop of  `apt-get build-dep mplayer`, it complains it can't get 
foo-bar, apt-get source --build foo-bar, repeat. 

Speaking of which, sometime soon I'm both going to setup an 
amd64/gcc-3.4 mirror and a repository of things like mplayer custom built.
