It is.

When I google for it, I find the opposite - many people saying
that it works fine. It certainly will if you install an i386
version of Debian.

However, if you install the native 64-bits AMD64 port, you
probably will need to install a seperate 32-bit debian under
a chroot to run 32-bit apps such as crossover office under,
as Debian doesn't support bi-arch / multiarch yet.
