Bug#447427: dpkg-cross: please support wrong architecture

[Jonas Meyer <quitte@gmail.com>]

Package: dpkg-cross
Version: 2.0.0
Severity: wishlist

Hi,
To create toolchains that have a new debian name than an already existing
architecture it'd be useful if something like this worked:

dpkg-cross -a uclibc-mipsel -i libc6_2.6.1-6_mipsel.deb 
dpkg-cross: libc6_2.6.1-6_mipsel.deb has wrong architecture (mipsel)
dpkg-cross: conversion of libc6_2.6.1-6_mipsel.deb failed.

Please consider adding an option to disable that check.

Thank you,
Jonas
