That is good to hear.
Something someone else said had me thinking about mixed CDs.
Amd64/Em64t is fully capable of running 32 and 64 bit at the same
time. It should be possible to boot the 64bit kernel, run the 32bit
debian-installer and install either 32bit or 64bit debian.
So what I'm thinking of is adding the 64bit kernel to D-I and patch in
a question "Install 32 bit (default) / Install 64 bit (experimental)"
question if a 64bit kernel is running.
As for debian-cd: What do you think about adding an option to use
different archs for the debs and udebs on a cd? Or including both
sets?

PS: If you already have that option excuse me, it's been a while since
I build woody CDs with debian-cd.
