I'm trying to evaluate debcraft as an option for Debian package building
and thus far came across 2 observations.
```
❯ debcraft build bpfcc_0.31.0+ds-7.dsc --build-arg HOST_ARCH=arm64
Building container 'debcraft-debian-sid' in
'/tmp/tmp.jctgXKrIdX/debcraft-container' for downloader use
mkdir: created directory '/tmp/tmp.jctgXKrIdX/debcraft-container'
WARN[0000] missing "HOST_ARCH" build argument. Try adding "--build-arg
HOST_ARCH=<VALUE>" to the command line
STEP 1/14: FROM debian:sid
STEP 2/14: ARG HOST_ARCH
```
debcraft reports about option `--build-arg` but such an option doesn't
seem to be available/documented.
Then, when trying to simply build a .dsc, it failed with:
```

```
The same package and the same sources built fine when, instead of
providing .dsc file argument, I simply unpacked the sources and
triggered the build with just `debcraft build <unpacked source folder>`

Other than that, I found the documentation quite limited. Like, how do I
go about using ccache, or do cross buildling utilizing qemu based
virtualization. I'd also prefer to inject package installs, like ccache
and auto-apt-proxy for efficiency. But I couldn't find much pointers.
