Good idea, I'll sign up at Bugzilla and give it a try.

I don't play music very much on the computer, so I'm new to this
subject. I just tried three different players, RhythmBox, SoundJuicer,
and Gnome Player.
RhythmBox has a problem. Press Play to begin playing a CD. Press Play
again to Pause. Press Play again to resume playing. Nothing happens.

When you open a PDF in Iceweasel, either by clicking a link or opening a
file, it renders the PDF right inside the browser instead of bringing it
up in Document Viewer.

Yes, the pithy answer to my original question is:
When you boot from the Debian CD, chose the 64-bit option.
Don't just press E

I installed Debian on this laptop using this image:
debian-7.4.0-amd64-i386-netinst.iso
I thought that because it had "amd64" in the name, I was getting a 64
bit operating system.
Well, that didn't happen. I got a 32 bit operation system:
$ uname -a
Linux laptop 3.2.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian
