Hi,

in my experience with xtensa, it has some basic customizable
core/instruction set (in this case it is lx106) which is then optimized
for some application (for example for esp8266). At the end, this
toolchain won't be able to build binary for different lx106 based
hardware. In this case the naming is wrong. It should be:
binutils-xtensa-lx106-esp8266
binutils-espressif-esp8266
binutils-xtensa-lx106-espressif-esp8266
or some thing like this...

If debian maintainers will decide to include this toolchain, then we
need to develop unified naming shema for this kind of toolchains,
because we already have completely opened firmware based on xtenas for
different hardware, see firmware-ath9k-htc package. Extra toolchain for
this package will make step forward reproducible builds.
