I suspect most of the stuff about build-profiles and cross-compilation should 
go into Debian.source, as is it target to build who wants to build from the 
source package (as opposed to installing the binary). 

Moreover, have you *really* tried cross-bootstrapping this? I tried in the 
past and to the best of my knowledge this is not possible due to how 
stage0/1/2 are being used and handled right now. Things may have changed in 
the meanwhile, though.

I agree with this view and saw that somebody already renamed it in git.
However, we should ask for the package in NEW to be REJECTed now, otherwise 
we'll probably confuse dak later when uploading alpha2.
Am I right?

Cheers, Luca
