Whiteboard
* Merging patches/fixes from ~ubuntu-crossbuild to make packages cross-buildable; which packages / seeds do we care to have xcompilable
* Future of dpkg-cross / cross-compilation and multiarch https:/
* Cross-compiler
* In main or only in a PPA?
* armel only or other targets as well?
* Wrapped in a single source packages, or multiple ones? (e.g. binutils-armel, gcc-armel etc. or toolchain-armel)
* sysroot-based or still based on --with-
* Mass cross-compilation tool
