In practice, a debootstrap'd 64-bit Debian tree will have to contain its
own /lib64 basically forever, because the generic x86-64 Linux ABI says
it must (even though Debian does not otherwise use lib64 any more);
libc6_*_amd64.deb contains the directory and the ld-linux-x86-64.so
symlink. As long as you don't actively break an existing /lib64 in the
container, everything should be OK?

On current Debian unstable, the only thing in /lib64 is:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Jun 23 22:30 ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 ->
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.19.so
