Don't know, but TUs uploading new packages should try to build them on
64-bit as well (if it is possible).
I believe (and hope) that TU who have access to a x86_64 machine already
provide x86_64 versions of their packages. BTW, gcarrier has a build
machine for x86_64. Ask him for access if you don't have a x86_64 machine.
Some of these packages will never
build on 64-bit, or be usable on 32-bit. Perhaps something like
arch=(i686 !x86_64) would be useful...
In this case, !x86_64 will be taken as an achitecture. A comment after the
arch field would be more aproppriate, e.g.:
arch=(i686) # Binary blob, doesn't work on x86_64
