I'm almost certain there's a bug in the Debian BTS about this, the
kernel DD closing it mentioning something to the effect that the -k7
kernels did not offer any significant advantage over the i686 kernel.
BTW, you can try running 64-bit stuff on a 32-bit system, but I would
expect you to get about as far as a carbureted van missing half it's
distributor cables....
