    Modify README to cross-compile deb packages for ARM in Pi-targeted builds · 7bab662b
    Will Sloan authored
    Currently if executed on an x86_64 system, the README's instructions
    will generate a `deb` package which contains x86_64 binaries (or
    whatever the host architecture is of the machine which compiles the
    code). This is contrary to the users' expectation, which is that they
    would build a `deb` package which can be installed on a Raspberry Pi.
    
    This commit modifies the README to add the appropriate commands and
    setup steps necessary to build `deb` packages for Raspberry Pi systems,
    the intended target of this software. The specific commands were taken
    from the GitLab CI configuration that builds the `deb` packages in CI.
