It isn't. A well-known example is python-defaults [1], which is native even though the version number suggests otherwise. The corresponding heuristics were dropped from Lintian two years ago. [2] In addition, it is not well-publicized that version numbers for installation (aka "binary") packages are not necessarily tied to the version strings for their sources, but I do not remember an example right now. Kind regards Felix Lechner [1] https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/python-defaults [2] https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/commit/8e8341470ba2a5e1d8d58776b5d32c0e4a70b4c8
