You have to rewrite portions of debian/rules, and also edit
debian/control so the library package names are of the form lib64foo.
I'm betting you'll screw up your system pretty badly trying though.
There's lots of pitfalls involved, and as you have to ask how to do
this, you probably wont be aware of the problems (and they aren't easy
to list).
