In general I would still like to focus on software *people* compile often enough to get annoyed by slow native builds. Eg. to cut down the edit-compile-run-debug cycle time. Some obscure software that nobody uses but still takes ages to compile on buildds would be nice to cross-compile, but to who? For the official archives these packages still need to be compiled natively.
yeah. fully agreed. that's why I hope building native kernel module on a cross compile debian kernel will get fixed because that saves us from rebuilding the kernel package natively (dkms, systemtap).
i think firefox should be in the list too since many people are doing benchmark/experimentations with FF (i think someone propose chromium already)
