Hmm, true. I can't find where I learnt that native packages are meant
for debian-specific software, I guess it must have been from mailing
list discussions over the years.

Woops, I should have caught the contrib thing.
When I downloaded this package (with dget -x), I got this error message:
dpkg-source: error: file tilecache_2.01.orig.tar.gz has size 45766
instead of expected 45765
After hacking the .dsc to add the right size/md5sum, it unpacked fine.
I downloaded the 2.01 tarball from tilecache.org and the md5sum is
different to both the md5sum in the dsc and the md5sum of the
.orig.tar.gz on mentors.
Did you upload a pre-release to mentors or something?
