Thank you Neil
I tried to use pdebuild-cross, but I have no doc but the short manpage,
the init of environment failed miserably. I probably didn't set a proper
conf. Or some hook is not tailored for debian.
The first apt-get fails with an error that you can find at

Any advice, way to debug, or documentation link is quite welcome.
