Other than non-free stuff like flash and openoffice, 
is there anything in the main section of i386 that isn't in the main

chroot is for Wine (crossover WineX), flash, adobe reader, Currently there are 18.000+ packages available for amd64 sid (according to synaptic). You can look here for further information: http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages. Other good links are:
