Issue is how to detect if debian/rules does not support build-arch. Debian policy dictates that debian/rules has to be a makefile but dpkg does not make that demand so we will need to work out a make compatible method if detecting target support. Until that is done and document we'll have to put this on hold. > I'm sure this would help slower arches such as m68k keep up. I suspect the effect will be very small actually. I don't think I have ever seen a package that supports a build-arch target.
