In chapter 4. Debian releases and archives on page 116:

The integration of the amd64 architecture into the official archive is underway as part of the mirror split, and the first package has been uploaded. Within the next few weeks, amd64 will thus become an official Debian architecture, and it shall be released as part of Debian etch, the next stable release.

Feedback

Abhijeet Chavan, Urban Insight, Inc.: I liked Krafft's precise, straight-to-the-point writing style. He makes basic as well as advanced topics readable without coming across as either condescending or cryptic. The terse footnotes are useful and supplement the text with interesting tips and resources. This is a technical book for sure, without fluff or off-topic detours, and it's packed with information. Still, Krafft manages to impart a personal feel by sharing his observations and balanced opinions. He delivers frank assessments of the strengths, weaknesses and eccentricities of a Debian system. In fact, the book even includes an appendix on how to decide if Debian is the right GNU/Linux distribution for you.
