     * Take over linux-libc-dev-*-cross from cross-toolchain-base, see #1065416.   
     * Call pytest instead of historic py.test. (closes: #1119268)   
     * [powerpc/powrpc64] Remove a remaining non-multiarch build.

   So we cover a couple of further HW support enablements, the   
   introduction of  a base package for version sync, enablement of   
   building rust drivers and features and the switch to dracut as the   
   preferred initramfs generator.   
      
   The switch of the preferred initramfs generator to dracut is a first   
   step towards the plan to switch to dracut by default. There is work   
   planned to make support for d-i, Benjamin is aiming to make a list of   
   packages that ship initramfs-tools hooks in Debian.
