Hi! A little later than the rest of the architectures, we are now ready to announce the availability of CDs (businesscard, netinst and full) and DVDs for AMD64. As AMD64 is unofficial, the URL for downloading the images is slightly different to that used for the officially-released sarge architectures: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/sarge-amd64/ These CDs and DVDs have been built by the same team that built the official sarge CDs and DVDs, using the same software. They are therefore available in the same formats as for the official architectures (jigdo, isos, torrents) and should also have the same quality and bugs. The vast majority of binary packages in the AMD64 release were built from exactly the same sources as the packages for the other architectures. There were a small number of exceptions, however. To make life easier for distributors of AMD64 discs, the extra sources needed for those packages have been added to the last binary disc in each AMD64 set (i.e. CD#13 and DVD#2). Source requirements can therefore be met easily for AMD64. Cheers... -- Your debian-cd team

What is released today is only the CD and DVD isos.
Also please note that Sarge AMD64 will be supported by the Debian security team, so is as good as official.
Actually the Debian Sarge AMD64 packages were released on the 9 june, see http://lwn.net/Articles/139268/Debian Sarge AMD64 released
