...and why is an empty diff file, for a small (if not tiny) number of
packages such a problem?
My only concern with the policy change, is what defines a "native
package"?
I would say, something along the lines of: it is up to the maintainer
to decide if a native package is used or not, but packages generally
should not[1] be native if upstream author != maintainer.
(do we need to include anything on uploading a native package if the
last one was non-native and vice versa? eg. only allow it if the
version number (excluding debian revision) changes?)
Note:
[1] must not?
