Lintian thinks a Non-Debian Native package is Debian Native
Paul,
I'm not an expert, but it seems that your fluxbox_1.1.1+dfsg1-1.tar.gz
contains your debian directory.
You should repackage your upstream source doing the dfsg cleaning and
make it fluxbox-*+dfsg.orig.tar.gz
*Don't add your debian dir to the repackaged sources*
(Apart from that, you should describe in debian/copyright which files were
removed from the upstream release)
