This is not policy so I would not use "must". Native debian packages can contain a debian directory since such an application would not make sense on a non-debian system. Then, considering the non-native applications, it is cleaner to separate the application (uptream source) from its packaging. But again, this is only my opinion. -- Jérôme Marant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://jerome.marant.free.fr
