Are kernel-patch packages native or non-native?



Are kernel-patch packages considered native or non-native? I am trying
to understand what the final set of files should be when I am done
packaging a kernel-patch. Right now, I have the following files:

	kernel-patch-preempt_20020315.dsc
	kernel-patch-preempt_20020315.tar.gz
	kernel-patch-preempt_20020315_all.deb
	kernel-patch-preempt_20020315_i386.changes

As you can see, the packaging process has created a .tar.gz instead of
an .orig.tar.gz. Is this the correct thing? The .dsc file properly
refers to the .tar.gz.

Should I be doing something differently in the packaging process so that
I end up with a .orig.tar.gz? I ended up with this list because I never
ran "dh_make" using an initial .tar.gz. Is that what I am supposed to do
here?
