Bug#574855: source: native-package-with-dash-version can bu due to format "3.0 (native)"



Package: lintian
Version: 2.3.4
Severity: normal

Hello,

I got hit by native-package-with-dash-version, but the reason was a bit
different...

My problem was that "./debian/source/format" contained "3.0 (native)"
(I guess I messed up with dh_make, but I suspect I wont be the only
one).

I suggest to add something like:
