No, that's correct.  There is currently no package like gcc-defaults
(which builds the gcc, cpp, g++, etc. packages that provide
/usr/bin/gcc, /usr/bin/cpp, /usr/bin/g++, etc. symbolic links) for cross
toolchains. [1]

You can simply create the links you need, e.g.:

    # ln -s arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-ranlib-4.7 \
    > /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-ranlib
    # ln -s arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-nm-4.7 \
    > /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-nm
    # ln -s arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-ar-4.7 \
    > /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-ar
    # ln -s arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-4.7 \
    > /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc
    # ln -s arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcov-4.7 \
    > /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcov
    # ln -s arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++-4.7 \
    > /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++
