Well, before forcing them to change we need a place where it is written
that the practice is front, don't we?
(Beside that, full ack on your reasons for not being a native package,
I'll probably fix gdome2-xslt notwithstanding this discussion outcome).
For fun I wrote the attached script which returns, when passed as
arguments one or more Sources file, the list of Debian native packages
(the test is only version based, so there are false negatives, as
gdome2-xslt itself). Only in main we have about 750 native packages.
There is no way of knowing a priori if they are "rightful" native or
not, but really a lot (40%?) of them seems not Debian specific at all
Cheers.
PS the script need python-debian to be installed
