The hosted version of travis only uses 32-bit Ubuntu, which is a reasonable 
baseline target for an open source project.  If your production environment is 
different enough, you would need to run your own CI and not use the hosted 
version of travis.  

I guess my point is "travis-ci should represent the minimal reasonable testing 
effort" for an open source project you expect others to depend on.  If it's not 
a simple, automated process to get your project installed on something as 
mainstream as ubuntu, you should fix that.
