I *am* an AMD64 user, and I can completely understand *why* they are
being cautious. You, however, are just being plain rude to the
NON-OFFICIAL amd64 porting team. If you're *THAT* in need of non-free,
add in the i386 sources line for it and *BUILD THEM YOURSELF*. The amd64
port is *NOT* official yet, and while there's a release cycle going, I'd
rather the developers GOT ON WITH THE RELEASE, than waste time on the
packages in non-free, just what exactly do you need from there that you
can't build anyway?

Also, if you're *really* that bothered, why not use Ubuntu which has
*official* support for amd64? (I know my reasons for sticking to debian
unstable, do you?)

Thanks,
