Re: Idea: autopkgtest on big-endian for 'Architecture: all' packages to catch endian bugs

That may not be enough, though; there are cases where the build
architecture determines artefact endianness (e.g. with PCF bitmap
fonts), and that may even be enough (X servers can load PCFs from
reverse-endian builds), but it may be a bug. So you’d ideally use
both.
