Are you trolling? Sarge is not even out, so how could we "support" amd64? I don't think anybody remotely sane would expect us to officially release an amd64 port before sarge. And as we will be burning CDs for the other ports anyway, why not for amd64 as well? True-64bit seems to be in a good enough shape that it might work out with d-i until then. And pretty much the only thing missing is a place on ftp.debian.org, but there is an repository on alioth anyway. So I don't see where we 'fail to support AMD64 natively'.
