Bug#457364: debian-policy: please reserve part of the package namespace for cross compilation
Hi,
Could you please also supply a rationale (which you did in the
earlier discussion) as part of this bug report? Why is it important
that we do this? What are *-cross packages? How would the legal
packages differ from the normal packages? Would lintian be able to
differentiate these legal packages from the ones not allowed?
Do we have a package currently available that meets the required
criteria? Can that package be presented as an example?
I think we are beginning to make such additional answers part of
every future proposal, to help make policy more consistent, more
readable, less prone to future confusion and disagreement, and help in
the proposed rewrite.
