In the meantime, if that helps someone, on debian it's trivial to get
64bit for some packages. All I had to do was this:
gargamel:/usr/src# dpkg --add-architecture amd64
gargamel:/usr/src# dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
amd64
gargamel:/usr/src# apt-get install e2fsprogs:amd64 btrfs-tools:amd64
And that's it.
Now I'm back in business with a 64bit kernel.
