Hi, Chris. Unfortunately, I'm not a debian maintainer and there's no open bug 
for that in debian bugtracker. I've done the packaging for my own needs, 
since it was waaay faster than opening a bug ;). So unless you know some debian 
maintainers crosstool-ng won't land in debian repositories any time soon;)

I guess the simplest way would be generating a static toolchain tarball and later 
writing an independant wrapper that would generate a deb and place everything in 
/opt/
