It's not just build-essential that has to be cross-compilable. It's
everything you need to build the packages in a debootstrappable (inc
build-essential) image.
That's actually at least 254 packages. And a quite a lot of those need
perl or python to be multiarch aware in order to build.
The set could probably be trimmed down further by adding more
DEB_BUILD_PROFILE info to make reduced builds, but there is approx no
chance of getting rid of python IMHO.
The (current best guess) at the list is on
http://wiki.debian.org/Arm64Port (that's actually derived from Quantal
- unstable does not really have enough multiarch info in packages to
get any useful answers currently)
