Well, it's either that or change the build tools... either by adding a flag to the control file, or by changing dpkg-buildpackage to refuse to build a native package (abort and complain that no .orig.tar.gz was found) unless it is explicitily told to do so. All debian native packages (as there are fewer native packages than non-native) would need to have such a flag [or change in the build command one needs to issue] applied to their next upload. If the group think that's a better way to solve the problem, so be it. I've previously said the build tools could have no default, but I thought better on the issue. Non-native would be a safe default IMHO. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
