it's the obvious way... create another architecture tree, binary-i586
(gosh, that going to hit hard on the mirror eventually. Time to get yet
another harddisk for the Debian mirror ;) It's just a minor (I hope)
modification to dpkg:
$ dpkg --print-architecture
i386
$ dpkg --print-gnu-build-architecture
i486
$ dpkg --print-installation-architecture
i386
