This is an interesting way to put it. Even though I agree that #766708 has been made non-actionable by waiting too long and thus some form of obsoleting that bug is reasonable, collecting it with #771070 under the title above seems rather far fetched to me: * This bug is now about cross toolchain packages in Debian whereas #766708 explicitly excluded that consideration. * This bug is now about post-jessie whereas #766708 was explicitly about jessie (lengthening transition period) and stated that a resolution would be found post-jessie without the ctte. I still stand by this expectation as Matthias duly addresses issues pointed out with the supported method. The remaining piece is fixing dpkg-cross and glibc, which can be done post-freeze. Thus, I am a bit surprised by the change in scope. I also note that concern was brought for raising this issue to the ctte too quickly. In fact, we now see that I was raising it too slowly. That said, forcemerge and close are quite similar in their effect, so no further action seems necessary. I just think that close would have been more candid as nothing is left from #766708.
