Don't upload them to Debian!!! This is very important, because your
architecture field is wrong:
libc6_2.0.106-0.1_i386.deb:
new debian package, version 2.0.
size 1114124 bytes: control archive= 638 bytes.
290 bytes, 10 lines control
78 bytes, 10 lines * postinst #!/bin/sh
53 bytes, 6 lines * preinst #!/bin/sh
598 bytes, 20 lines shlibs
Package: libc6
Version: 2.0.106-0.1
Section: base
Priority: required
Architecture: i386
^^^^
This should be hurd-i386.
If you would upload them, they would be installed in the i386 tree, not in
the hurd-i386 tree, breaking the distribution.
You didn't use the wrappers of Santiago, did you? You need wrappers for
dpkg-buildpackage and -gencontrol and -genchanges to make cross building
work.
With a trick, you can rebuild the binary packages without recompiling libc6.
I don't know if adding the "-nc" option is sufficient, but you can also just
uncomment the cleaning and rebuilding in the rules file and use the "-B"
option.
Thanks,
Marcus
