Hi,

For the time being, the only way to get a amd64 system is by installing it
from scratch/chroot. Cross-update is not possible AFAIK.

I have read a few comments that suggest (to me at least, so please correct
me if I am wrong) that multi-arch can do this, but that is not yet
available nor will it be in the near future.

For more info, see the documentation on the projects page:
http://www.debian.org/ports/amd64/

hth,
Thomas
