In fact, I want it to work as a native debian system. This way,
buildroot causes a lot of problems (I think that's the motivation behind
SLIND). And they already have a binary base system which is a hell lot
of work already done... Mixing this with dpkg-cross, well... it's
perfect :)

That's where SLIND helps more... the base system is already built.

I think it's possible to just use dpkg-buildpackage -auclibc-i386 and
get a functional package (after some changes, probably)... I'm trying to
stay as close as I can from the stock debian packages.

As I said, I aim to have a standard debian machine, so I do want to deal
with the dependencies correctly to have a real package.

Sure... Actually, I think we should both join forces to emdebian, which
is doing a great job...
What I do think it would be really nice is to have a "contrib-builds"
SLIND repository (like backports do). This would make things easier for
sharing this effort.
