in fact, you can run mixed system, or 64-bit kernel on 32-bit userspace.
(32bit debian contains 64bit kernel)

Unless you have real need to run 64-bit userspace, you can stay with 32bit.

64bit userspace is required e.g. by vmware workstastion, however it probably
could run on mostly 32-bit userspace.
