me too, but I tried with pdebuild-cross too, to see how it worked.

I'm using amd64 - hopefully it doesn't matter.

I'm a biut confused about this. I got this error in pdebuild-cross
because xapt was initially missing so the cross-deps simly weren't
being installed. As soon as they were installed then this part went
fine. Which is what I would expect. So there must be something
different about the environment in the xdeb case. I'll try and work
out what is going on.

I left docs on. It correspondingly pulls in a lot of deps (157
cross-deps, but lots of them are null so it doesn't actually waste _too_
much time). Nothing broke.

Yep. pdebuild-cross+xapt dies in the same place, but not with the same
error
dies with:

Yep. I think we can agree on that. It's interesting that the two build
methods don't quite give the same behaviour. I'll poke it some more to see
what's going on.

Just when it gets interesting :-)
