Bug#626222: dpkg-cross: does not honour -convert-anyway flag

[Hector Oron <zumbi@debian.org>]

Package: dpkg-cross
Version: 2.6.3
Severity: important

Hi,

  Since 2.6.3 version, dpkg-cross does not convert anyway packages:
  dpkg-cross -A -a armel -b libc-dev-bin_2.13-2_armel.deb
  dpkg-cross: Skipping Multi-Arch package 'libc-dev-bin_2.13-2_armel.deb'.

  On 2.6.2, used to do:
  dpkg-cross -A -a armel -b libc-dev-bin_2.13-2_armel.deb
  Building libc-dev-bin-armel-cross_2.13-2_all.deb
  dpkg-deb: building package `libc-dev-bin-armel-cross' in `./libc-dev-bin-armel-cross_2.13-2_all.deb'.

  That causes breakeage when building toolchains and I suspect it breaks xapt and other software.

Best regards,
