Qua Linux, yes (and well, amd64). But there are also Solaris/sparc and
Irix/mips binaries.  And there have been pocketpc (arm) ones in the
past. There is no m68k effort upstream atleast. It might run decently on
ColdFire hardware, but I'm ok with letting porters do that. 

So, for Debian supporting x86, amd64, ppc, sparc and mips would be fine
for me, if more is wanted people can put in the effort there.
