Depends on how invasive the fix really is - but probably unchanged.

Well, I guess there are not that many source packages that require an
invasive fix, so that there may be a newer source version for amd64
than for the rest. But of course, if it shows that there are too many
problematic candidates, than this could lead to not releasing amd64 as
part of sarge r1.
