Hello,
for coming MXE, or for the actual mingw-cross-env, it is quite easy to 
use on debian
according to http://mingw-cross-env.nongnu.org/, "tutorial" and 
"development version" pages, you do something like
aptitude install -R autoconf automake bash bison bzip2 \
                    cmake flex g++ intltool make sed \
                    libtool libltdl-dev openssl libssl-dev \
                    libxml-parser-perl patch perl \
                    pkg-config scons unzip wget \
                    xz-utils yasm mercurial
then something like :
hg clone http://hg.savannah.nongnu.org/hgweb/mingw-cross-env
cd mingw-cross-env
make
but better follow carefully the tutorial.

sure a package for debian could be done...

On the reverse side, mxe does not depend on a distribution, and follows 
the latest release of packages. So for your second question, about using 
multi-arch feature of debian for mxe, the answer would be no.

However, a project that would integrate mxe in debian with multi-arch 
would be very interesting.

I a quite new, so maybe I say stupidities :-)

Cheers,

William
