Not really. Flash works fine here (on a sid system using
nspluginwrapper) most of the time, but sometimes flash objects become
blank and I have to restart Iceweasel. I don't use Java at all (at least
not in the browser.
Otherwise, everything works really great. Debian on AMD64 is of the same
quality as on i386.

What exactly was so bad? I played around with schroot (I don't have an
urgent need for chroots) and it looks really fine. If you write a few
tiny shell scripts to automate the most common tasks (launch browser
from chroot etc.), you can probably forget that you are forced to use a
chroot at all.
