Yes, please, drop `emchain', `buildcross' already in experimental aims to replace it as discussed previously in-list. But for wheezy, we should wish to have cross toolchains built by autobuilders. > apt-cross can then be removed from Wheezy if we change / drop emchain. `buildcross' has a switch to be able to use `apt-cross' or not in desire of the user, but `apt-cross' makes things much easier. > The latest changes in apt break apt-cross in lots of ugly and unfixable > ways.

Is `xapt' goal to be `pdebuild-cross' chain dependency solver or also it aims to be `apt-cross' replacement in Wheezy?
