Confirmation. dpkg-cross has been uploaded to unstable with only a Suggests on binutils-multiarch due to fixes in debhelper 8.1.2. dpkg-cross can't depend or recommend debhelper directly but there's a note in NEWS.Debian to this effect. debhelper should migrate before dpkg-cross. In a majority of cases, developers who have dpkg-cross installed should find that binutils-multiarch becomes listed under apt-get autoremove but it might help to make this change more public (planet.debian.org etc.) so that more people realise that their system might not need binutils-multiarch anymore. I think it would be wise to wait until the new dpkg-cross has migrated into testing before expanding binutils-multiarch. In other news, cross-building on MultiArch experiments are going well and dpkg-cross itself should be incidental to cross-building in Wheezy and might even be unnecessary. -- Neil Williams ============= codeh...@debian.org
