Package: dpkg-cross
Version: 1.28
Severity: normal
An easy way to reproduce the behavior:
Get libxt-dev_1.0.2-1_arm.deb
from, say, ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libx/libxt
Now, issuing
dpkg-cross -v -a arm -b libxt-dev_1.0.2-1_arm.deb
gives:
Going to convert libxt-dev_1.0.2-1_arm.deb

dpkg-deb: parse error, in file `/tmp/dpkg-cross.9a173216/dst/DEBIAN/control'
near line 8 package `libxt-dev-arm-cross':

`x11-common-arm-cross'
dpkg-cross: building package with dpkg-deb -b failed.
dpkg-cross: conversion of libxt-dev_1.0.2-1_arm.deb failed.
The same behavior occurred using any of the packages that also
have a version under debian/pool/main/x/xfree86, if you don't get
that version (for example libxt-dev_4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1_arm.deb
works), but instead the one that uses xorg. (Most of these aren't under
the xorg directory). This was tested on two machines. For example,
using libxt-dev_1.0.0-5_arm.deb also doesn't work. The whole
xfree86 set seems to work.
