I've now munged this a fair amount to actually work, and tested it on the arm64 bootstrap as well as some armel and armhf builds. It all works rather nicely. I've filed a bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=693220 to try and reach a conclusion on the matter of having one source pakcage that produce the build-essential and crossbuild-essential-<arch> packages. Or having this done as a separate source package. It was designed to be merged, but the version in the repo has the native bits commented out so is effectively a separate (but rather similar) source package: http://people.debian.org/~wookey/bootstrap/ubunturepo/pool/main/c/cross-build-essential/ (the testing has been done in Ubuntu as the toolchains are already in-archive, so it would need a few package-name changes for Debian, which I expect to get to soon - that makes no difference to the architectural question).
