This is good. But I'd still leave that to apt-cross to decide. Unless explicitly specified, apt-cross should be intelligent enough to figure out the default choice.
On a normal box, if I'm doing `apt-get install gcc`, apt knows which is the default gcc version to be installed for the particular release. apt-cross should be made smart similarly (maybe it should take that info from apt-get), to be able to identify the correct version of gcc.
