Hi, Debian does handle "multiarch" ok in repositories and such but
wake up and look around it is not special or anything. Debian is far
far behind when is comes to "multiarch" and real device support. They
only provide  unoptimized generic armv5 code
http://www.debian.org/ports/arm/ and the way debian works (no cross
compiling) makes it a pain to port to other platforms.

now try and compare that to something like poky
http://www.pokylinux.org/

Kind regards
