> - Why is this set as a native package?

This is for convenience of PCP developers - in particular,
both Ken and I regularly build and use the .deb packages in
our testing processes.  The PCP project also release binary
debs with each release using the local (native) packaging -
https://bintray.com/pcp

FWLIW, it has been this way (in Debian) for over ten years.
It would be quite disruptive to our processes to rework it,
I suspect, but that's not out of the question (if there was
some way to replace our existing upstream package builds).

> pcp is still using compat 5

I believe Eric has been working on these aspects, and we've
exchanged a few mails - there's still some way to go though
to bring things completely up to date, AIUI.

cheers.
