I think the main problem here is that some A/DeMuDi packages have not
been uploaded to Debian and thus the auto-builders did not compile
them on different architectures (amd64 in this case).
My application as Debian maintainer has been approved, but I'm waiting
for the actual account. After I get it I'll be able to upload the
missing packages. In the meantime, anyone willing to sponsor the
upload? :)
It would be great to make debian/demudi running on amd64.
Cheers,
Free
