The Technical Committee is hoping that this will be resolved without
requiring us to make a decision. If the take-over offer resolves the
issue, then we will probably vote to take no further action.

Can you tell us a little more about how you plan to maintain
linux-libc-dev?
Specifically:
Will it be another binary package in cross-toolchain-base, built from
linux-source-*?
Will cross-toolchain-base now contain linux-libc-dev-*-cross and
linux-libc-dev, as separate Arch: all, Multi-Arch: foreign binary
packages?
I don't know much about the stability of these headers, but I see
regular changes. I assume moving linux-libc-dev from the linux source
to cross-toolchain-base will mean that you'll have to do more frequent
uploads of cross-toolchain-base to keep them up to date, where this was
less critical for cross-compiler toolchains.
What are the consequences of not staying up to date? I'm guessing
incoming bug reports from other packages wanting to use new features.
