dpkg-cross defaults - options to be removed



/etc/dpkg-cross/cross-compile is currently full of redundant and
unsupported options to change the default handling.

I propose to lose all of these options in the next version of
dpkg-cross, due this weekend.

# All subsequent variables may be removed (and/or become
# unsupported) at any time.

#
# general section: paths of cross compiling environment
#
# you can set the following variables here:
#  crossprefix: prefix for cross compiling binaries; default: $(DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM)-
#  crossbase  : base prefix for the following; default: /usr
#  crossdir   : base directory for architecture; default:
#               $(CROSSBASE)/$(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE)
#  crossbin   : dir for binaries; default: $(CROSSDIR)/bin
#  crosslib   : dir for libraries; default: $(CROSSDIR)/lib
#  crossinc   : dir for headers; default: $(CROSSDIR)/include
#  maintainer : maintainer name to pass to original dpkg-buildpackage
#               in -m option. If not set at all, don't pass a -m, thus
#               dpkg-buildpackage will use the name from the changelog
#               file. If set to the special string CURRENTUSER,
#               dpkg-buildpackage will use the name from the
#               changelog, too, but signing the .changes will be done
#               as the current user (default key).
#  removedeps : comma-separated list of package names that should be removed
#               from depends/conflicts/etc fields
#  keepdeps   : comma-separated list of package names that should be kept
#               in depends/conflicts/etc fields as is, without adding
#               -arch-cross.
#
# In preparation for merging dpkg-cross into dpkg, the previous
# defaults have been removed.

So the warning has been there since Lenny. It's time for removal.
