Adding amd64 as subarch to i386 would mean 3 additional flavors to build, raising the overall build-time of that package by 1.5-2h. Additionally, I don't know in what state the current cross-build env for i386 is, and building 64bit kernels on i386 might produce abi-incompatible kernels causing even more problems. IMHO the best solution would be to repackage the amd64 debs into i386 ones. This can be trivially done and should not cause any regressions. The "real" solution for this still is multiarch. I haven't heard much of it since a couple of months, is anyone still actively working on it? Best regards Frederik Schueler
