None that I am aware of. For most of my testings, the focus was only on a 64 
=> 64 or a 32 => 32 config.

I think README.Debian should be enough. The way open-iscsi currently is in 
Debian, a user will be required to go and have a read of the README.Debian 
doc. Having it in postinst scripts will only convey the message at install 
time.


PS: I have already committed the content to the package. A new upload should 
be soon this week.
