You did a great job and going to do even more! :^)
I try using cross compile to get amd64 packages, but don't work, i need one computer where i can run for amd64 apps, i'm working to buy one.
AFAIK there is currently no way to create a amd64 package on i386 architecture.
If you have serious problems with the amd64 machine, maybe I can do ssh-access to the one for you. But this possibly not be soon.
I think is a good idea -- add symlinks "stable" to "lenny" tree, and "testing->squeeze", "unstable->sid". Its useful sometime. But remember: that symlinks must be renewed when Debian change releases.
I think this is fixed.
Hmm, i keep getting errors:

In the last packages, i added a "watch" file, you can test it with "uscan", to get more quickly updates.
Excellent!
For example, in the bitcoin (not oficial) package, i include some files: bitcoin.conf (example file), manpage for bitcoind and bitcoin.conf, and for last the white paper of bitcoin.
Jonas Smedegaard <
dr@jones.dk> maintainer of official debian package built bitcoin-cli, which does the same thing as your bitcoin-daemon.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=578157#77 He is currently exploring the possibility of assembling a package libdb4.8++ (See also topic
http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2667.0). In his package no mans no examples, so I think you should contact Jonas Smedegaard and to merge in order to prevent the execution of double work.
I use this lines for his repo:
deb http://debian.jones.dk/ testing freedombox
deb-src http://debian.jones.dk/ testing freedombox
deb http://debian.jones.dk/ unstable freedombox
deb-src http://debian.jones.dk/ unstable freedombox
I read your man pages and have some thoughts:
In bitcoind.1.gz section EXAMPLE:
Now run:
$ ./bitcoind
bitcoin server starting
$ ./bitcoind help
A list of RPC calls will be shown:
$ ./bitcoind getbalance
2000.00000
I think you want to remove. "./" at the beginning of commands, as they run from /usr/bin. ("$ ./bitcoind" --> "$ bitcoind").
In COMMAND sections need add brackets to some parameters. Like: "backupwallet destination" --> "backupwallet <destination>" and "getbalance account" --> "getbalance [account]".
Also:
"getbalance" have optional parameter "[minconf=1]";
"setgenerate" lost "<generate>" parameter description. Like: "<generate> is true or false to turn generation on or off";
In bitcoin.conf.5.gz i think better move sections HISTORY and RESOURCES to bitcoind.1.gz and leave only "SEE ALSO bitcoind(1)".
