We could ask the same of all maintainers to check on all archs they can but it gets to a point where it's not entirely reasonable. I expect those building on amd64 to test/upload amd64.deb's and those building on i386 to test/upload i386.deb's. We have the buildds and we have unstable, things will get tested on the other archs pretty quickly and developers will quickly pick up on problem areas and where they need to be careful, just like we do for other archs. Probably better since amd64 will likely be more popular than some of our other archs. So, to put it simply, even if we made it easy for DDs with amd64's, I wouldn't expect it to happen and I'm not sure we should try and force it to. Stephen
