Wow, that is a lot of information. Thanks for your time. Yeah, I usually go with the 'keep a giant pool of .deb files to use as needed after installing using a DVD' rout, but it is not the most manageable thing and I was wondering if it was possible to have a single 'always on me' pen drive

DVDs are cheap. I'd suggest that it is in no way worth the time you'll spend hacking things about to achieve this, when you could simply have separate i386 and amd64 discs instead. I speak with no authority as to live-build plans, but afaik there are no plans at all to do anything in this area.
