Title:
  dpkg-checkbuilddeps doesn't know about cross-building

Status in “dpkg” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “dpkg” package in Debian:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Although dpkg-buildpackage has a -a $arch option, dpkg-checkbuilddeps
  does nothing with it.  As a result, dpkg-checkbuilddeps may consider
  the build-dependencies satisfied when they actually aren't, because a
  package is installed for a wrong architecture.  This is ok if you're
  already resolving dependencies with something like apt-get build-dep
  or mk-build-deps, but it does make it harder to test out fixes to the
  multiarch build-dependencies themselves.
