As someone who tried to make unofficial jessie for x32, I say: hell yeah, oh so much please do this! Or better yet, just drop that concept altogether and instead make binNMUs automated _sourceful_ uploads. For someone who's trying to simulate testing/stable at home, inconsistent binNMU versions create such a mess that, despite jessie-x32 being mostly done, you didn't hear it announced, I didn't bother to build security updates as planned, it's a bitch to upgrade to unstable, and I'm not trying that again for stretch. So here's another reason for your idea, and why binNMUs are bad. Meow! -- Autotools hint: to do a zx-spectrum build on a pdp11 host, type: ./configure --host=zx-spectrum --build=pdp11
