If not in sid (main isn't appropriate since amd64 also has contrib and
non-free) then they should all be in the BTS. The number of patches
missing is miniscule and a great number of trivial patches
(missing/broken Build-Depends, outdated config.guess/sub, adding amd64
to the Architecture: field, ...) have been added in recent month.

amd64 patches (except the outstanding dpkg and apt upload) amd64 would
still be over 95% complete, which was a limit stated in some previous
mail. It would take between 1-4 weeks to get back to the current level
if amd64 where added today unless some new FTBFS bugs show up and
people are uncooperative to fix them.

Debian-amd64 is running buildds following debian sid. There is a
handfull of packages that have extra patches applied but the policy of
the debian-amd64 team has been to always report a bug along with
uploading a patch.
We are talking about ~100 out of 9000 source packages having a patch
and many of them trivial or a bug for other archs too.
