   I don't know if anyone has a working cross-grade for Raspbian then, so I   
   created a new partition with a clean 64 bit Bullseye on it, installed   
   all the same optional packages as the 32 bit partition, then copied over   
   all /home, /opt, bits of /var and lastly looked at /etc. That was the   
   trickiest bit, machine-id and ssh/ssh_host* were copied across to   
   preserve the identity, but all the other files had to be diffed and   
   changes integrated so as to keep the legit configuration and to shed   
   some of the cruft from multiple previous OS releases.
