Do you really mean "ALL". You should start with build-essential
packages if you mean to say all build-dep packages. But I do not know
why you do this. You are doing cross compile. I do not see point of
downloading source for all build-dep.
I guess this is best answered by reading CLFS itself. I am no expert.

Not really if you need dpkg as you say for your system. After all you
asked to have "Cross-Compiled Linux From Scratch" (a.k.a CLFS).
If you are building installation image only, you may not need dpkg.
Anyway, please google and ead things like:
