Well, what about these native packages?

Do, I understand correctly that for native packages the installation 
directories are 'fictive' (to a tmp dir) and so native Debian package cannot 
be at the same time a normal Unix package (installable by "make all && make 
install") without patching (patching which would port *from* Debian *to* 
"normal Unix")?

In my understanding, creating a package, even if it's main using is under 
Debian, I should first create a "normal Unix" package and only then port it to 
Debian, shouldn't I?

But what about any clues about creating native Debian packages?

P.S. How much messages per day send debian-devel list? My mail system isn't 
yet well configured to handle many, as I installed Debian at home only about 
two weeks ago.
