Why does "apt-get upgrade" show packages and "aptitude safe-upgrade" does not?

Can't help you much, but wanted to point out that there is 1 not yet completely resolved bug report about this: #578937 - courier-base: Emits "Filesystem notification initialization error" to client software Alan Chandler reported that he uninstalled libfam0 and installed libgamin0 instead. Maybe you should purge libfam0. And make sure you restarted your imapd.

You have to force the architecture override: dpkg --force-architecture -i ../linux-image-3.2.1_custom.1.0_amd64.deb HTH.

Yes. For instance, you can install a 64 bit kernel on a 32 bit system. You'll probably need ia32-libs , though. Note that a number of issues have been reported. Just do some web research, and you'll see. A good article is Running 32-bit Applications on 64-bit Debian GNU/Linux (see also the comments there). Your question about syscalls has been amply answered in c - How do 32-bit applications make system calls on 64-bit Linux? - Stack Overflow .

This will be better supported with Debian Wheezy due to multiarch support. Explained here: http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch
