Just a warning for everyone : dpkg 1.14.9 is borked.
dpkg 1.14.9
dpkg-dev 1.14.9
Try with a simple, really quick package that has just been patched to
cross-build successfully with emdebian-tools :
$ apt-get source hostname
$ cd hostname-2.94/
# comment out dh_shlibdeps to allow the build to complete
# (awaiting fix for #439979)
$ dpkg-buildpackage -aarm
dpkg-buildpackage: source package hostname

The build clearly uses arm-linux-gnu-gcc, it builds an arm package
containing arm binaries (checked with 'file'), it creates an arm
.changes file but dpkg-deb gives me an amd64 suffix!!!
AFAICT the built package is fine - almost to the point where it could
simply be renamed and a new .changes file generated but I'm currently
digging through the dpkg-deb codebase to find out what has gone wrong.
