Hi, I just found this software called scratch, and I noticed that
on page http://info.scratch.mit.edu/Scratch_on_Linux you recommend
installing it on 64-bit AMD-architecture with:

sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i ./scratch_1.4.0.1-0ubuntu5_i386.deb

If that works, then files in package are very likely architecture
independent, and it would be better to simply create a debian-package
that installs without that "--force-architecture"-switch.

You can do this by changing the line "Architecture: i386"
to "Architecture: all" in
http://ppa.launchpad.net/scratch/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/s/scratch/scratch_1.4.0.1-0ubuntu5.diff.gz
(or from where that is generated, actually), and building
a new package.  This makes the package architecture independent,
and installing it on 64-bit will not be such a hassle.
