I don't think that is a stunningly good idea. Imagine this:
debian-i386
debian-i486
debian-K5
debian-K6
debian-K6-2
debian-K6-3
debian-K7
debian-P5
debian-P6
debian-P5MMX
debian-PII
debian-PIII
debian-PIIII
debian-PIIIII
debian-PIIIIII:)
All of these processors can run the same debian version currently, but
might benefit from their own optimizations. In it's current form debian
already takes up `quite some space'. If there were a split like this,
this would really get out of hand. The way to go is making it easier
to recompile source packages to suit your own optimization preferences.
I think this is a (very) long term goal for debian.
Comments anyone?
