Wow.. that's just... creepy :)

okay, that makes a case for "provide 64bit binaries, for strange odd
cases". but it does not justify "auto-choose the 64bit version via
isaexec".

and for larger packages like apache, it might raise the question of
whether the 64bit suite belongs in a secondary, auxiliary package,
rather than in the main one.

For lighttpd though, its small enough that I think its okay to provide
both in the main package.
