dpkg-cross currently diverts dpkg-buildpackage and dpkg-shlibdeps. This is clearly less than ideal. dpkg-dev having cross support built-in seems sensible to me. Especially if it only makes dpkg a few K bigger. You are right that the debconf questions are inappropriate for most users. Probably those should be attached to the dpkg-cross binary package which still has dpkg-cross itself, but not replacement dpkg-dev files? Either that or work out some other way to avoid asking normal users about cross-building.
