In my own experience, the commonest way of accidentally building a Debian native package (a source format, nothing to do with where it's maintained) is to have a wrongly named upstream tarball, which dpkg-source will not associate with your package. For a package of fluxbox 1.1.1+dfsg1-1 your Debian revision is -1, and the tarball should thus be fluxbox_1.1.1+dfsg1.orig.tar.gz. Everything before the dash is counted as the upstream version number, even when it's a result of DFSG re-packaging. Nick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
