I know very little about debian packaging, but shouldn't this be done in all cases, regardless of CROSS_COMPILE being set or not? You even show in the above example that in some cases you don't need CROSS_COMPILE to build a kernel for a different architecture. make rpm-pkg seems to suffer from the same problem, btw.
