Yes, I realise that they are of interest to some other distros, but I
was unsure of the way to put this. How do you think
A Debian native package is a program written specifically to Debian,
A package is not a program. s/to/for/ =>
"A Debian native package is a package of a program written
specifically for Debian,"
where there is no upstream development. In most of these cases the
project will not be packaged by other distributions. Examples of
s/project/program/
this are dpkg and apt tools.
