We realize that this is important as demonstrated by the fact
that this is RFE# 4 for Java [4].

The original bug has the background information [1] and
we now have tracking bugs in Debian [2] and the
jdk-distros project [3].

What would be helpful is to document best practices
for the "install 32-bit plugin in a chroot environment"
even though it is a hack.

Similarly helpful would be proposals on how to leverage
BiArch or MultiArch to install the 32-bit client software [5]
on an amd64 system.

The complete fix, of course, will depend on native amd64
binaries of the client software (and corresponding browsers).
