Are you sure that the package was built native and that you didn't have any stray file named *.orig.tar.gz around when you built it that fooled dpkg-buildpackage into making it non-native? The Lintian code doesn't pay attention to the version number since that's not, in the archive system, what makes a package native or not. It checks for the existence of a *.diff.gz file in the associated source package. If this is reproducible, the contents of the *.dsc file for which Lintian does this would be very interesting. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
