I agree with you! Installing ia32-libs and ia32-libs-gtk work nicely within the "debian quality traditition", i think. But the remaining steps are clumsy, error-prone, and probably unmaintainable. That's why i included the "Open Questions" section in the article. Do you have any suggestions for tools we could use to make them more in line with the debian tradition?

I don't think that the debian tradition should force you into using old compatibility modes for your hardware if it's capable of better things and most of your tools are similarly capable. How can we fix this to better support tools that aren't ready to be fully ported to amd64?
