sbuild: add --host=somearch
pbuilder: add --host-arch=somearch
dpkg-buildpackage:
 * add --host-arch=somearch
 * add "nocheck" to DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS
 * add "cross,nocheck" to DEB_BUILD_PROFILES
 * add --build=any

If you run into problems with any of these, contact
debian-cross at lists.debian.org and include a full build log.

There also is the lazy approach: Upload and check
http://crossqa.debian.net/src/$package.
