I mean that the most complicated step of the install was figuring out
that the cross-install script wasn't smart enough to go looking on
alpha.gnu.org for the .deb's it doesn't find in the debian archives,
firing up an ftp client, downloading these .deb's and putting them in
the place where cross-install would find them (the "partial/"
subdirectory). Yes, this isn't a complicated step, but was the most
complicated step of the install. Hence, the installation went very
smoothly.
