#480515, #480518, #480514

Just a starter list right now but there are lots more to file - I'd
rather file them automatically during package cross-builds where
possible but that would be best done once the pseudo-package is
available.

I'll file some more in the coming days as part of an audit of the
packages built so far.

That page seems to want a one-liner, so:

"Problems related to building packages for Emdebian"

For a longer description:

"buildd.emdebian.org tracks any issue related to Emdebian packages,
including (but not limited to) failure to crossbuild, failure to remove
unwanted files, packages blocking update of other packages, unwanted
dependencies, breakage caused by differences between Emdebian and Debian
versions, tracking outstanding issues caused by existing Debian
packages, tracking problems across each sub-project in Emdebian
(including uClibc and native builds) and lintian failures (all lintian
errors are fatal in Emdebian)."

crossbuilding, preferably. See #480511

(There's more to preparing a cross built package than simply using a
cross-compiler.)
