debian cross-compile / bootstrap changes

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton <luke.leighton@gmail.com>]

konstantinous, been meaning to ask you for a while:

would you mind sharing / making available the modified package changes
that you've had to make in order to get past the
circular-build-dependency barriers?  it's *really* important that what
you've done is not "lost" like it has been the past N times it's been
done.

if you happen to have the originals prior to modifications being made
that would be even better.  (the reason is that the "diffs" between
the pre-mod and post-modded versions are strategically more valuable
as it makes clear what needs to be done).

if you're really really busy then please, just a tarball bunged up on
the internet somewhere will do.

all best,

l.
