Andreas, you are not the only one to whom Jonas expressed sorry too :-)

I agree with this.

Uh. So there is ./Makefile (which contains the dist target), which then
calls ./debian/rules, which then modifies ./ - this seems ugly to me too.
In debian-edu-doc one has to call "./debian/rules get-orig-sources" directly
(and this only modifies the upstream source in the package, but not the
packaging.)
I also share Jonas opinion that native packages should be avoided and consider
them legacy.
