It turns out the dh_gencontrol line changes were superfluous. It didn't 
work anyways with the 'fakeroot debian/rules binary arch=armel' 
invocation. It only works using 'dpkg-buildpackage -aarmel' which sets 
the internal notion of HOST arch that dh_gencontrol uses.

Loic - I've made the CROSS_COMPILE and do_tools changes as requested.
