Thank you for fixing that. The only packages that are allowed to be native in Debian are the ones for which Debian is the developer, like dpkg, i.e. the package management tool. "Native" is hence wrong, and it seems a bit expected too, now tat we also have other distributions like Gentoo, which should all use the very same official release tarball with no expressed bias to be native anywhere - admittedly, not a very important point. It just felt weird to me. There fairly obvious-to-me answer is that we need to adjust the build system to accept quilt. This would then also be a single orig.tar.gz tarball for all versions of Debian with possibly changing dependencies. If I recall that right then we now have different orig.tar.gz files for each version of Debian?! > > This then showed some Lintian false-positives which were relatively > > easy to fix. My motivation for the quilt-chnage was to minimize the differerences between our github repository and what we upload to Debian. So I was just happy to see it build without issues on GitHub. The false positive lintian warnings were likely correct for the quilt-way, so I would have preferred to leave them in. Debian freezes on the 15th. I'll attempt another update over this weekend to fix that /usrmerge problem.
