How do I either select a differnet package-arch or reverse to the 
current way?

I am right now using 'make ARCH=x86_64 deb-pkg' on a 32bit userspace
environment running with a 64bit kernel, wanting to create packages to 
be installed in this i386 arch.

(As I want 64bit support where possible (mostly for AES-NI support in 
dm-crypt), but don't have the time available to do a complete userspace 
reinstall and reconfiguration)
