Dear Debianists,

How much commonality exists between the i386 versions of Etch or Sarge and the AMD 64 version of Etch?


Others have addressed the changes from sarge to etch but as far as the two different architectures go I use apt-cacher to share common files between my amd64 partition and my i386 partition. The answer is that there are some packages that are architecture independent. These are labelled *all.deb. The architecture specific files are labelled *i386.deb and *amd64.deb respectively.


A quick look at /var/cache/apt/archives on your current machine will give you an idea how many files are shared. IIRC you can use this as a source for jigdo too :).
