The change for native packages was introduced in devscripts 2.10.19 in
March and mentioned on debian-devel
(http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/03/msg00498.html)

The current DEP on the handling of NMUs is likely (assuming it's
accepted) to lead to changes to the recommended versioning for NMUs of
both native and non-native at which point the handling of both types of
packages may be reunified.

I'll update the manpage to more accurately reflect the current
behaviour; thanks for pointing out that it was out-of-date.

Regards,

Adam
