He appears to already have amd64 enabled- hence his ability to run an
amd64 kernel. He also speaks of manually specifying amd64 package
installation, implying he already has that architecture enabled- his
problem is the fact that installing amd64 versions of all his binaries
would result in him losing all his i386 binaries.

Synaptic thinks he has an i386 machine post amd64 installation.
