RISC-V crossbuilding is broken, and is expected to remain broken for
some more month according to what I heard from Debian folks. Native
building against sid worked the last time I tried, but it's not
practical for anything that needs an own kernel etc.

Using snapshot means going back to early this year, using sid-ports
again - while it is also not working reliably due to server issues and
throttling of that service. That's what we are stuck with on
isar-cip-core side.
