I’d greatly appreciate that. I don’t own a̲n̲y̲ 64-bit machines (of any
architecture)¹ and would like to proceed using Debian on some, and,
perhaps even now already, be able to calculate things less than two
decades in the future.

If there’s need for manpower to do the 64-bit switch for i386 count me
in, I already did part of the work on MirBSD and on Debian/x32 already
anyway.

Thanks in advance,
