Where did you get that URL?  Because it's wrong...  Build 565038 *is* a 32-bit
build, as you can see here:

  http://hydra.nixos.org/build/565038/

and the Deb provided by that build is

  http://hydra.nixos.org/build/565038/download/1/nix_0.16-1_i386.deb

(It's a quirk of Hydra that the filename after the /download/... is ignored.)

There are 64-bit builds of Nix 0.16:

  http://hydra.nixos.org/release/nix/nix-0.16

However, Nix 0.16 is pretty old, so you're better off grabbing the latest
pre-release:

  http://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nix/trunk/jobstatus

This also includes Debian 6.0 builds.
