I would even go further and I would try to have all (build-)essential packages provide a consistent -source package, for easier work on bootstrapping $distribution from source.

I'm not sure build-essential relates; the reason for pushing for the cross-toolchain effort is because we need to bootstrap them on buildds for consumption by end users. But to bootstrap an architecture from scratch should rather be an extension of our buildd software, or a new software working from the archive -- doesn't need to happen within a regular build.
