I wonder which approach should we tackle for approaching wheezy release, with multi-arch so close, it would be a pity to pollute Debian archive name space with -$arch-cross packages. But still, build daemons will not be aware of cross-arch dependencies until wheezy+1, so we are unable to have a cross compiler packages in wheezy by build-depending on cross-arch packages. Another approach would be bootstrap cross compiler from scratch, which is the approach followed by Marcin packages, but I would suggest to change -$arch-cross dependencies to the multi-arch equivalents and force user to enable multi-arch for such architecture on their system. Of course, as a pre-requirement we need a dpkg aware of multi-arch in unstable (hopefully sooner than later). Any thoughts on what solution we want for the upcoming wheezy release?
