I don't think so, for 95% of the usual applications it doesn't make  
sense to go x86_64, therefore most people run 32bit binaries even on  
64bit capable machines.

While the 64bit ABI also has some improvements (faster opcodes, more  
registers etc), it also bumps your memory and bandwidth requirements  
considerably. It only is an advantage if you actually need 2GB+ of  
memory in a single process or 64bit calculations. You certainly don't  
for OGo.

Greets,

PS: this is especially true for SuSE, which provides 32bit and 64bit  
binaries in a single setup (lib vs lib64). I think Debian does not  
provide that.
