This of course presupposes that you're still addicted to proprietary
software published by one of the many asshat companies still convinced
that 64-bit computing's a fad. For those of us who've learned better,
inability to run 32-bit precompiled binary software without chroots
isn't a problem.
By the way, the canonical information resource on Debian is:

(Includes chroot instructions.)
