directfb fails to cross build from source:
| checking for directfb-csource... no
| configure: error: Could not find a directfb-csource in your PATH
It seems that for cross builds directfb expects to be able to run a
system-provided directfb-csource. That lives in libdirectfb-bin. So
directfb is missing a cross-specific dependency on libdirectfb-bin.
Since it wants to run directfb-csource, it needs to be installed for the
build architecture. That can be achieved by either marking the
libdirectfb-bin dependency with :native or by marking libdirectfb-bin
Multi-Arch: foreign. I think the latter is appropriate here, because
libdirectfb-bin contains only command line utilities. As far as I
understand their behaviour does not depend on the architecture of the
package. If that statement is wrong, it must not be marked M-A:foreign.
Please consider applying the attached patch after verifying that
M-A:foreign is indeed correct on libdirectfb-bin.
