Ayay.

http://amd64.debian.net/docs/package_changes.txt lists whats missing in
sarge due to this.

Nope.
Until amd64 isnt on ftp-master.debian.org there is no way to force the
maintainers to apply a patch.
Its fucking silly from them to not include them, as its clear that amd64
is RC for etch, but well...
Also for sarge there is sarge-unsupported, containing sarge-sources with
the patches needed for amd64. As name says - unsupported. Talk to fs if
you want something there.
