Package has standard debian/changelog, with appropriate Closes: notes.
I'm going to look through BTS buglist once more - maybe some others are 
also fixed.

The most important changes are:
- it may handle header-only packages (such as linux-kernel-headers and 
x-dev)
- it has a way to handle non-library dependences (so hacks with equivs are 
no longer needed)

Currently I'm having some trouble contacting dpkg-cross package maintainer. 
Once he replied me "please send bugs and patches to BTS", but 
unfortunately dpkg-cross bugs at BTS are kept unanswered for months.
I tried to send updated package to him, asking to upload my version, but 
there was no reply.
I'm not a DD, so I can't make an NMU myself.
