Can I use it with debian build system, which, I think, is native building?

You can cross-build Debian-format packages with cross-compilers using: dpkg-buildpackage -aarmel

Most Debian-style packages are built natively and not cross-built, so you'll meet issues along the way, but this is precisely the way we intend to use these packages. The recommended frontend for such cross-compilation is "xdeb" (lp:xdeb) which was just uploaded to maverick.
