Really? Your response here:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2006/02/msg00275.html
seems to indicate that you fixed the package not to crash by
distributing the file. Of course the file should be distributed. But
even if it isn't, the program should be written to not crash,
hopefully in a graceful way (eg using errorx() rather than assert()).

It is my understanding that you can fix it by making sure that the
next upload has these 3 files: .orig.tar.gz, .diff.gz, .dsc. Of
course there will be at least one .deb too.
afaik, dpkg-buildpackage will create a native package iff the
.orig.tar.gz of the right name isn't found in ../. Just make sure is
named correctly and that the changelog version is right.
The relevant policy is:
5.6.12 Version

I wonder why this isn't (wasn't?) enforced..

Rejected why?
