Bug#745618: PTS: Please add cross build dependency satisfaction results to appropriate source packages

Hi,

we are running daily cross build dependency checks using dose3 on the
source packages identified as core packages by botch. Many of these fail
and in the light of the CrossBuildableBase release goal [1] this
information should be displayed in the package page of the pts of the
affected packages.

The human readable version can be seen here:

http://bootstrap.debian.net/cross.html

while the machine readable json can be downloaded from:

http://bootstrap.debian.net/cross.json

This service is similar to the debcheck service in that it also uses
dose3 to check dependencies. It differs in the fact that it checks
crossbuild dependencies and that it doesnt check the whole archive but
only a meaningful subset of it.

cheers, josch
