Hi,
I am using Debian on amd64 architecture since a long time (even before
Debian etch), and there are *plenty* of apps available.
(Just look at your apt-cache stats output).
The only apps that needed the 32-bit libs/chroot around were wine and
the non-free flash plugin. Initially I think openoffice had to be run
in a chroot too, but that was quickly solved.
What software are you using that does not have a 64-bit package?
Best regards,
