Debian AMD64 Port Ready

We are proud to announce the Debian AMD64 port is ready for inclusion in Sid.

We are proud to announce the Debian AMD64 port is ready for inclusion in
Sid. The port is currently at 97% compiled with most of the remaining
packages having FTBFS RC bugs filed for unrelated reasons. We have also
finished debian-installer for the AMD64 port and generate daily builds.
All that still remains to be done is for dpkg to include the amd64
patch, for archive space be given to the port, and for an official
buildd to be setup.

Thanks,

Debian AMD64 Port Team
