Hello Friend.
I do not usually speak much English, but I recommend you look further
information migrate entire operating system is complex, I would advise
is talking to developers of the project and you adopt orphaned
packages when you are recognized within the project debian for your
work you can discuss in how you can help in the process of collecting
and compiling packages pioneering architecture x64 or AMD64.
Debian is great, if you are willing to help in such complex processes
as only tell you that debian Welcome to the world :-).
I from Venezuela.
Alejandro Garcia.
