Yes, you do. It's not gcc:armhf, but gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf. dpkg-buildpackage will run dpkg-checkbuilddeps and complain if anything is missing except for crossbuild-essential-armhf which is assumed present and libc-dev:armhf and libstdc++-dev:armhf as crossbuild-essential-armhf presently lacks the dependencies (#815172). I recommend using sbuild or pbuilder as bothe of these handle most of the complexity themselves. If there is any other build wrapper, that doesn't support cross compilation, please tell. Helmut
