Hmm, I'm confused even more now. I thought that all standard debian intel packages are built for i386? Some time ago, I built an i486 kernel and it wouldn't boot on an i386, I had to rebuild it for i386. Returning to my question, this would mean that a package that I build on an i586 wouldn't run on an i386 because it is built for i486?
