Thank you Neil I tried to use pdebuild-cross, but I have no doc but the short manpage, the init of environment failed miserably. I probably didn't set a proper conf. Or some hook is not tailored for debian. The first apt-get fails with an error that you can find at http://pastebin.ca/1886024 Any advice, way to debug, or documentation link is quite welcome.
