Frustrating. Why didn't the Debian developers stick with the more

I might be mistaken, but as far as I remember "amd64" is the name of the
architecture that AMD developed (like i386 was designed and thus named
by Intel). "x86_64" is the extentions that make the CPU compatible with
the amd64 architecture.
