lightdm does not cross-build

[Michał Sawicz]

The current lightdm package does not cross-build, dependencies can't be installed:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 gobject-introspection:armhf : Depends: python:any:armhf (>= 2.7.1-0ubuntu2)
                               Depends: python2.7:armhf but it is not going to be installed
                               Depends: build-essential:armhf but it is not going to be installed
                               Depends: python-mako:armhf but it is not installable
 gtk-doc-tools : Depends: python (>= 2.3) but it is not going to be installed
 libglib2.0-dev:armhf : Depends: python:any:armhf (>= 2.7.1-0ubuntu2)
 yelp-tools : Depends: itstool but it is not going to be installed
E: Build-dependencies for sbuild-build-depends-lightdm-dummy could not be satisfied.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Dimitri John Ledkov (xnox)]

There is no solution for cross-building gobject-introspection at the moment, thus packages can be cross-build if one disables building gir* packages. Which maybe end up being not so useful.
