Package: dpkg-cross
Version: 2.5.5
Severity: normal
Hi,
on top of the multiarch support in dpkg-cross looking broken (it just
skips multiarch packages instead of creating a dummy here) the current
dpkg does not support installing the multiarch package for foreign
architectures anyway.
For that reason please, by default, convert multiarch packages into
-cross packages with all the files moved into the cross compile dirs
(to avoid future file conflicts).
It would be good to have an option to create the dummy -cross package
for testing purposes. Then later, when dpkg supports multiarch, a
conffile option would be nice so users can start the transition. Only
after some time of testing should this become default though and it
should still be disableable (is that a word? possible to disable) so
unstable dpkg-cross can still be used to create packages for
pre-multiarch dpkg.
MfG
Goswin
