Thank you for getting back to me so quickly.

I already had added him, but forgot to document it in the message. Sorry 
for that.

Yes, everything – also systemd – is i686. You can build a 32-bit VM 
image with grml-debootstrap [1]:

     sudo DEBOOTSTRAP=mmdebstrap ~/src/grml-debootstrap/grml-debootstrap 
--vm --vmfile --vmsize 3G --target /dev/shm/debian-32.img -r sid --arch 
i686 --filesystem ext4

Then run that with QEMU, but pass the 64-bit Linux kernel to QEMU 
directly with the switches `-kernel` and `-append`, or install the amd64 
Linux kernel into the Debian VM image or the package created with `make 
bindeb-pkg` with `dpkg -i …`.


Kind regards,

Paul
