Like Mathias says, it does work.

You can manually verify the path and packages into the repository.
There has been AMD64 since before the last update of the Lucid
packages.

I have manually downloaded Vincents packages from his repo, run Alien
across them to produce .RPM, and placed them is there own repo. It
worked fine (except for minor workaround due to Debian specific lib
naming) on the last version as well.

I intend to install the "bleeding edge" version of Mint Linux, which
is the rolling unstable Debian release (not the stable Ubuntu
release), that may cause a few issues, or not, I will post if when it
gets done..
