Sorry, but I disagree with this interpretation. For me a Debian native
package is a package which contains the official debian packaging stuff
in the upstream tarball. Since I'm also upstream for gdome2-xslt and the
software has been used historically always as a Debian package, to me
that is a native Debian package.
There are other examples of packages in the archive which are no way
Debian specific, but which are native as gdome2-xslt is; a fresh example
I have in mind is ikiwiki.
Of course if the global consensus will change so that native packages
are only those Debian-specific I would be more than happy to change
gdome2-xslt, but at the moment I feel there is no such a consensus.
Cc-ing -devel for the sake of this discussion.
Cheers.
