I have a partial script worked out. If I remember from the last spate of
discussion we were going to decide to ignore the FHS or not about the location
of the cross-packages. Current practice seems to be sticking them into
/usr/<arch>-linux (or /usr/<arch>-hurd?) but dpkg-cross defaults to
/usr/local/<arch>-linux. Was this ever resolved?

I will be switching my email addresses from @ferret.dyndns.org to
@mail.aom.geek on or after September 1, 2001, but not until after
Debian's servers include support. 'geek' is an OpenNIC TLD. See
http://www.opennic.unrated.net for details about adding OpenNIC
support to your computer, or ask your provider to add support to
their name servers.
