Do you mean 'as buildds'? Debian's support from cross-building has improved hugely over the last 8 years, and you can now crossbuild a _lot_ of debian. Helmut told me 'nearly 2/3rds' a while ago, although I'm not sure if that's 2/3rds of _everything_, or some subset. There is lots more that could be done (not least educating upstreams that like to do 'uncrossable things'), but we are the opposite of 'fundamentally opposed to it'. > even though the alternative is the abandonment of architectures.

I don't think it's going anywhere.
