that is not true, unless someone recompiles the package from source, not the 
hell likely, they are i386 guys and used to get everything in binary form. Also 
i think my packages will work all the same on i386, and if not they should send 
me the bugreports, and i will see why. It is true that there is branden's name 
listed as maintainer, but that is due to my little experience in the different 
packaging tools, i will fix that now that i know you want it like that. But 
that is what unstable is for, and not what experimental is for, at least that 
is what is written in debian developper docs, section 4.6.2.
