You can still use the original post + the patches posted for it to
convert i386 debs to amd64 pure64. The latest version though has
several things hardcoded to work the way I need it to at work due to
time constraints. I intend to generalize them again at some point
though.

 Any updates on your archive/script for 32bit packages?  I think it
 was mentioned in another thread that some changes need to be made for
 latest build of openoffice to work with your archive - will there be
 an update soon?  Forgive me if it still works, but I haven't been on
 my linux box for a bit, so I can't check it at the moment myself.

 Also, any progress on getting wine to work this way?  Way back in
 this thread:
 http://lists.debian.org/debian-amd64/2005/07/msg00813.html  There
 were some problems on simply adding wine to the package list, so I
 was wondering if there are any workarounds or updates planned.  (How
 about the mplayer/w32codecs?)  Wine would be sweet :-P

 Great work though, and hope you continue with it.

 John

The script is in the CVS of the multiarch project on alioth (named
cross-archive) but with lots of changes. It is now converting i386 and
amd64 packages to i386 and amd64 packages respectively fit for a
biarch system. Together with a biarch dpkg and apt this gives the
ideal spawning ground for true multiarch. It is also what I need the
package for at work.

The dpkg is already in CVS there too I think (biarch branch) unless I
forgot to commit something. The apt I haven't commited yet.

But this is probably less usefull for you than the original post.
