Yes, Debian works fine. Follow the instructions in the Debian AMD64 HOWTO.

I don't use 32 bit anything on AMD64. I can chroot to some more 64 bit installations. This is what I do:

Either install debian from the Installer in a new partition or use debootstrap to build a debian in a new partition. Then mount the partitions as the HOWTO and then chroot to that partition. The big puzzle is getting the mounts setup and the bind mounts before trying to chroot.

Or boot the new debian and chroot to ubuntu.
