Congratulations! It looks like you're using the source packages straight out 
of the OBS repository:

That's certainly a useful document for those interested in building Debian 
packages.

Thanks for sharing this work! I imagine you almost wish you could cross-build

But as you have shown, there's often little reason for packages not to be 
available for an architecture as long as the software is portable and cleanly 
packaged.
