I've contemplated switch to Debian but ended with Gentoo instead. There are solution is trival: each package has status for each architecture. Thus package can be upgraded for x86 and sparc, but not for arm and mips. Why not go this way ? It's only logical, after all... P.S. And no x86 is not "the most current one": some changes are essential for x86-64, but not really important for x86 - in such a case package will be marked as "~x86" and "amd64"...
