one of the benefits of having a huge armel repo is that you also don't have to worry about dependencies much. you take the control file 1:1 and just rebuild what's missing, again not having to fiddle with the packaging files.

i imagine lots of possible errors in package dependencies, multiple packages and so on.

it's not difficult of course, still much easier than porting from scratch, but prone to errors IMHO.
