Intent to help with making packages cross-buildable

[Nilesh Patra <nilesh@debian.org>]

Hi,

I've been seeing several FTCBFS bug reports, mostly from Helmut Grohne.

Since this looks like a pretty good effort also in order to improve the quality of the package, I'd like to help in any way I can.

I hope that's okay.

I found a wiki page for cross compiling here[1] but I do not see a sort of "getting started" page to find tasks or to learn about common problem with failing to cross build packages.

(I only see just a few handful failures on http://crossqa.debian.net)

It'd be great if I could get more information/links/wiki/something else about this.

Kind regards
