We use dpkg-cross as wrapper for installation. dpkg --root is not required
for this APT wrapper.

The APT wrapper is used to installed foreign architecture's packages and
all their dependencies with dpkg-cross without have to bother with it
manually. Of course, the other APT functions are available too: source,
build-deps etc.

The apt-build tools works after some tweaks with this APT wrapper. I intent
to publish the minor modification on apt-build in the next weaks, I hope.
