OK. My mistake.

This leads us to a different problem, that the crossbuild-essential-*
mechanism is very crude and arbitrarily selects C and C++ but not
fortran. A proper mapping from <build-dep> to <target>-<build-dep> is
needed to fix this in the general case (which we already knew) so that
build daemons can just DTRT. I'd better try and spec that up as quite
a few packages have to be manually built because of this.
