Package: dpkg-cross
Version: 2.6.3
Severity: important
Hi,
Since 2.6.3 version, dpkg-cross does not convert anyway packages:
dpkg-cross -A -a armel -b libc-dev-bin_2.13-2_armel.deb
dpkg-cross: Skipping Multi-Arch package 'libc-dev-bin_2.13-2_armel.deb'.
On 2.6.2, used to do:
dpkg-cross -A -a armel -b libc-dev-bin_2.13-2_armel.deb
Building libc-dev-bin-armel-cross_2.13-2_all.deb
dpkg-deb: building package `libc-dev-bin-armel-cross' in
`./libc-dev-bin-armel-cross_2.13-2_all.deb'.
That causes breakeage when building toolchains and I suspect it breaks xapt
and other software.
Best regards,

This is a Multi-Arch package, therefore if you want this processed,
pass the Multi-Arch flag: -M
See dpkg-cross (1)
Multiarch behaviour
By default <dpkg-cross> does nothing with packages from Debian
which already support Multi-Arch - the package is simply copied to the
current work directory, if it does not already exist. Any package
containing a Multi-Arch: field in DEBIAN/control is skipped in this
manner.
--convert-multiarch can be specified to instead force the
generation of a -<arch>-cross package with the files moved into the
conventional dpkg-cross locations.
The Multiarch spec ensures that multiarch packages will only be
available from Debian mirrors once dpkg itself is capable of installing
the packages and installing a Multiarch package means being able to
install a 32bit multiarch package alongside a 64bit multiarch package.
Installing an armel multiarch package alongside an x86 multiarch
package is no different to 32bit vs 64bit. (What changes is how the
multiarch package itself handles the header files and pkg-config files.)

xapt has been explicitly modified to support this behaviour because the
behaviour is transitional - once a particular subset of packages are
properly Multi-Arch aware, builds can stop using this option.
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/e/emdebian-crush/current/changelog#version2.2.16
The switch exists in xapt since 2.2.14 - I'll add documentation of the
switch similar to the docs for dpkg-cross.
