## Description

Removes or just prints the complete list of packages that have been installed by dpkg-cross (whether using dpkg-cross directly or via apt-cross or emdebian-tools) for the selected architecture or dpkg-cross default architecture.

This functionality cannot just be merged into apt-cross because that would remove cross packages used by the Emdebian toolchain.

## Commands and options

```
 -a|--arch
Override the dpkg-cross default architecture.
 -n|--dry-run|--simulate
Only print the list, do not call 'sudo dpkg -P'
```
