That describes the process quite well. In particular, crossqa.d.n links to existing bug reports to avoid duplication of work. A major lack (beyond people doing the work) is domain-specific knowledge of the various archive sections. So once you locate a monster, don't stop there, but contact debian-cr...@lists.debian.org or #debian-bootstrap@oftc and let us combine your domain-specific knowledge with some cross compilation experience to create an original solution. So yeah, start with those packages that you know well. Check http://crossqa.debian.net/src/<sourcepackagename> for your pet packages or follow the "cross" link in the right sidebar at tracker.d.o. Also (thanks to IOhannes zmölnig) enable cross building in your salsa-ci pipeline. In any case though, don't let wine wait for cross building to become a thing. Helmut
