Right, I'm not referring to running Debian on 32-bit machines. I'm referring to being able to: # dpkg --add-architecture i386 in an amd64 machine, and # apt install <software>:i386 in an amd64 environment, in order to maintain i386 compatibility in an amd64 environment. For now it seems that Debian will be just fine for this purpose. Cheers.
