A Debian native package means that every time you change *anything* about the package, you have to increment the regular version number for the package. That means you cannot do *anything* with the package without getting upstream to release a new version. This is generally a bad idea even if you're upstream; it's really not a good idea if you're not upstream for the package. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
