As far as I'm aware, Debian's AMD64 repo is mostly 64bit, with only
exceptions being certain 3rd party apps from vendors like Adobe.

Under certain circumstances, it's often better to have a 32bit firefox,
32bit java browser plugin, et cetera. This is b/c the 64bit Adobe Flash
plugin tends to be... hard to come by (the beta was closed recently).

I wouldn't be overly concerned, unless you find an app that is broken on
64bit (an old one from Debian Lenny [and older] is procinfo-18. Squeeze
replaces it with [my] procinfo-ng. I really should make another release
of procinfo-ng).
