We also expressed this desire at the debconf mini-sprint (which I still haven't written-up - apologies for extreeme tardiness). I have got as far as aquiring a box and installing debian on it. I hope to set it up as a cross-buildd, and as Doko says, once we have that set up, getting the cross-status into the PTS is the way to get it generally actionned, although that also requires us to have reasonably cogent advice for packagers on what they should/should-not do. There is some here: https://wiki.debian.org/CrossBuildPackagingGuidelines but as ever there is a lot more that could be said and that page was last updated in mid 2013. Quite a lot has changed since then. Wookey -- Principal hats: Linaro, Debian, Wookware, ARM http://wookware.org/
