I'm not sure amd64 is ready; dpkg support hasn't yet been put in a
release though it's now in CVS and build-essential hasn't been updated
with amd64 requirements, and none have been communicated to me.

I outlined what I felt were the necessary steps over a month ago in
Bug#241689, and haven't seen any feedback from that.

I'm not trying to block anything, the pure-amd64 architecture looks
pretty necessary (though nobody's donated me a machine yet *sniff* <g>)
but you can't just hope that all the required tools will get the support
you need at once.
