I suspect they just mean it's a 32 bit package that has been tested and
known to work on 64 bit systems - their statement probably doesn't state
that there are separate 64 bit implementations of their utility.

And generally speaking our packaging policy is such that 32 and 64 bit
libraries happily coexist. We put a lot of time and effort into ensuring
this is the case both by design and by poking people who get it wrong!

Which reminds me to poke at the oxygen-gtk3 packager for exactly this
reason....
