Really. Perhaps you ought to try a more helpful repsonse. I'll get you
started:
"Debian packages are not cross compiled because ..."
A single paragraph response should suffice.
Moreover, I know that most, if not all the technology exists for this to
happen. I also appreciate that some packages are not entirely suitable
for cross compiling. However, for cases like Mozilla and other large
ARM packages, there does rather seem to be a strong motivation to do so.
