Well, that is another matter.
Currently gcc-4.0 is in experimental and, since there has been some
demand in the last days, that will be added to the buildd after the
archive moved.
As soon as gcc-4.0 moves from experimental to sid or from sid to sarge
later debian-amd64 will follow (baring FTBFS bugs). But I have no clue
what the maintainers plans are for that.
