Ok, I see your point. I'll change the package to be non-native again. But how about all the links to upstream places that lintian expects? like the Homepage field in debian/control, the watch file etc ... Shall I simply add lintian overrides for these, or is there a better way to teach lintian that upstream doesn't exist? greetings, jonas
