Dear maintainer,

the mips64el architecture has been removed from trixie and onwords
(#1093859, #1105972). So no mips* architecture is left in the archive.
Potentially as a side effect, the cross toolchain for mips* is also no
longer actively maintained (see #1100544). However, since u-boot is a
key package and has build dependnecies on the mips* cross toolchain,
auto removal of cross-toolchain-base-mipsen and related packages is not
triggered.

Please remove gcc-mips64el-linux-gnuabi64 and gcc-mipsel-linux-gnu from
Build-Depends-Indep so that we can remove the mips* cross toolchain from
forky.

Cheers
