Each package should be as portable as possible. But of course it's much easier to get things moved in that direction if the needed changes are as little as possible ;-) So it's a good thing not rely on fixed paths for programs. I like the suggestion for SHELL=`which bash` very much. The cross compilation issue is very important for Debian. This way we can perform compilation for all our platforms on a single machine. Perhaps we can set up such a machine to compile all our source package after uploading. This way we can ensure that each package is available for every platform immediately.
