The installation guide _does_ mention this though. It can be seen both in
the architecture table
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch02s01.html.en#id2756248
and in the section on CPU support just below that:
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch02s01.html.en#id2756691
I've just added an explicit caution in the version for IA64.
