This guide will help setting up cross compilation and packaging i386 and amd64 deb packages for the following distros:

1. Debian testing (Squeeze)
2. Debian unstable (Sid)
3. Ubuntu Karmic
4. Ubuntu Lucid

Setting up pbuilder

1. Firstly, install pbuilder

   sudo apt-get install pbuilder

2. Then place this config to /etc/pbuilderrc
