No problem; with all my false starts I had to expect some hiccups.
I only wanted to be sure others wouldn't have to sweat the load like
I did. :)

Perhaps it would be easier for cross-install to run a topological
sort on the packages installed, and write that to a script read by
native-install? Then users could isntall whatever they want, and
native-install would Do The Right Thing. Since the ordering would
happen under GNU/Linux or some other helper system, it should be
easy. Probably the sort would require a Packages file from the
debian mirror (which would have to be up-to-date wrt to the
downloaded debs, of course).
