2006 shipped with 6.0.0 due to problems with grass 6 under gcc4, which still 
need to be solved in cooker (g.parser and nviz segfault). I may update the 
packages in devel/2006.0 when this is solved.

amd64 packages will be available in future, possibly current ones for ppc as 
well.

Regards,
Buchan
