I don't feel like being the relevant person to ask. Of course, I do try
to reduce differences between native and cross builds and this is in
line with doing so, but beyond that I think it is meson's call to make.
There is one thing I want to enable accross the archive: Whever there is
a $TOOL and a $DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE-$TOOL they should have the same
behaviour whenever the host architecture is the native architecture. In
other words: Using triplet-prefixed tools should always be safe. To the
best of my knowledge, this presently always works and it is why the
emitted native-file from debcrossgen should just work.

No.

I'm sorry. It didn't appear to me like I could provide useful input
here. It seemed as if all arguments were already on the table.
