Native vs non-native - how to choose?



Hello,

I have almost managed to package my first library. :) But one problem remains:

"dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot" always builds a native package. I would like to 
build a non-native one, but I don't know how.

What I do currently is take the upstream archive 
("libnonsense-0.1.0.tar.bz2"), extract it, pur the debian/ directory inside 
the extracted directory, and run dpkg-buildpackage in the latter. I end up 
with:

libnonsense0_0.1.0-1_i386.deb
libnonsense_0.1.0-1.dsc        <- some kind of description file, but who uses 
it?
libnonsense_0.1.0-1_i386.changes        <- what is that?
libnonsense_0.1.0-1.tar.gz        <- why is this created at all and is it 
different from "libnonsense-0.1.0.tar.bz2" other than by name and compression 
format?
libnonsense-0.1.0.tar.bz2
libnonsense-dev_0.1.0-1_i386.deb

Thank you for your help!

Best,
Georgi
