Bug#504070: please detect when package version changes to native
Package: lintian
Version: 2.0.0
Severity: wishlist

Hi
after missing this in one of packages I sponsor, I'd welcome if lintian
warn me if package has changed from non-native to native version. I
don't think this happens often intentionally, but is quite often
mistaken. I think that comparing of latest two entries in changelog and
checking if the later one is non-native when previous one was would be
good approach.
