Some Debian people are talking about "multiarch", which will have 32-bit and 64-bit libraries installed in different directories so you can easily run a mix of applications. But the main need to run 32-bit apps on a 64-bit machine is for non-free apps that you can't recompile. The current "pure64" implementation is just fine in most scenarios.
