Indentation should be one tab.

And here one tab + two spaces.

If possible, please add an upstream URL here.

I think we should use snapshot.debian.net instead of BR2_DEBIAN_MIRROR.
Maybe we should even completely remove BR2_DEBIAN_MIRROR altogether.
The problem of using BR2_DEBIAN_MIRROR is that there is no guarantee
that the tarballs are going to stay at the same location, as Debian
evolves. While snapshot.debian.net guarantees this.

Instead of PATH=$(HOST_PATH), I'd prefer to see:

	$(TARGET_MAKE_ENV) $(MAKE) -C $(@D) all

Also, the indentation of the command should be one tab.

This is not very pretty, but I don't really have a better suggestion,
unfortunately.
