mlton-cross was also removed from Squeeze along with apt-cross and it still has an RC bug.
I really want to remove apt-cross ASAP - it has no place in Debian. xapt is an alternative but nowhere near a drop-in replacement. The entire dpkg-cross handling mechanism is due to be replaced by Multiarch before Wheezy is released. xapt may survive longer than that because it's interface to dpkg-cross is far simpler than with apt-cross - at least until apt itself has full Multiarch-cross-dependencies support. I don't want people to still be using apt-cross during the migration to Multiarch, it will just make things harder.
