Yup, consistency is good.

I happen to be using a special chroot for testing, but it's not required -- you
can have a multiarch base.cow and use that to create both native and
cross built packages. I created my chroot using this command:
sudo cowbuilder create \
--basepath /var/cache/pbuilder/base-cross.cow \
--debootstrap mmdebstrap \
--debootstrapopts --architectures=amd64,arm64 \
--debootstrapopts --skip=output/dev \
--debootstrapopts --variant=buildd \
--debootstrapopts --include=ca-certificates
Helmut suggested that I add
--debootstrapopts
--include=crossbuild-essential-arm64,libc6-dev:arm64,libstdc++-dev:arm64
to speed up cross builds. Thanks for reviewing my bug report!
