What makes it a native package? Or if you prefer, what prevent it of not
being a native package?
One of the inconvenient of the 'native' format used for a package made
of upstream tarballs is that it makes it difficult to review (and also
waste some bandwith).
In this particular case, the diff.gz could certainly contains only the
debian directory. But I agree that the tarball will be custom made for
debian.
