This is about an amd64 kernel that can be installed from a .deb on i386.
I don't remember exactly why the kernel was build with 3.4, but it did
have better support for amd64 than 3.3. I think the reason is that the
3.4 version could build both 32 and 64 bit code from a single binary
with the -m32 and -m64 options. The reason 3.3 didn't have this is
probably related to that 3.4 wasn't the default in sarge.
Anyway, I don't know about the current state of amd64 kernels for i386,
so I don't have a suggestion for that text.
