Sounds good to me.

Would it make sense to specify that Crush autobuilders set DEB_VENDOR to
"emdebian"? Currently, that doesn't make much difference with existing
packages, but we'd be able to merge changes back into Debian by letting
them look at DEB_VENDOR.
Apt already handles (by ignoring) multiarch qualified builddeps, not
only dpkg and dak are missing as the major roadblocks to getting cross
builddep information into the archive -- however that is only useful for
squeeze+1.
