Bug#550776: linux-source-2.6: please add support for linux-libc-dev-$(DEB_HOST_ARCH)-cross package

[Hector Oron <hector.oron@gmail.com>]

Package: linux-source-2.6.30
Version: 2.6.30-8
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

  Currently, I am planning a cross compiler upload to Debian archive. It depends on linux-libc-dev-$(DEB_HOST_ARCH)-cross package which it is provided by applying dpkg-cross to the $(DEB_HOST_ARCH) linux-libc-dev package. This way works for us and we are able to provide precompiled binaries at emdebian.org site.

  Now, we plan an upload to Debian and it would be very useful to have a cross architecture linux-libc-dev package, so the autobuilders are able to build the cross tools.

  Could you please provide such package? An alternative it is to upload a source package which build depends on linux-source and generates such package.

Kind Regards,
