Sorry, but I disagree with this interpretation. For me a Debian native package is a package which contains the official debian packaging stuff in the upstream tarball. Since I'm also upstream for gdome2-xslt and the software has been used historically always as a Debian package, to me that is a native Debian package. There are other examples of packages in the archive which are no way Debian specific, but which are native as gdome2-xslt is; a fresh example I have in mind is ikiwiki. Of course if the global consensus will change so that native packages are only those Debian-specific I would be more than happy to change gdome2-xslt, but at the moment I feel there is no such a consensus. Cc-ing -devel for the sake of this discussion. Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli -*- PhD in Computer Science ............... now what?
