Hi Kumar,
i followed your advices and re-uploaded the package to mentors.debian.net;
but im afraid that i didn't understood what you meant by 'my package
being a native package',
i mean the differences between the source in the orig.tar.gz and the
package are the paths (original source uses "relative" paths and the
package uses "absolute" paths), and those differences are just because
i didn't 'gave' a directory structure to the original source code when
i made it.
tell me if im wrong with this.
Regards,
Mauro
