I see what the problem you're trying to solve is, but I really don't
like your solution, so I'm going to investigate a different way of
solving the problem.

One option is to use file triggers on /usr/bin/$triplet-gcc that then
proceeds to create the symlinks to pkg-config-crosswrapper, but I'm not
sure if there are other problems with that approach, so I need to
investigate it a bit.
