Did try to change the version number to 0.9.1-1 - which sounded great 
for a non-native debian package. But this meant running into all kinds 
of warnings. (debuild claims my native package has a version number that 
contains a dash!)

As far as I understand the Debian Policy states that if a package is 
deemed to be "native" depends on the version number. But it seems like 
there has to be another criterion, too.

Do you know what this criterion would be?

I did try to read the Policy and experimented for a long time before 
another urgent project started keeping me constantly busy for months - 
so this time I have to say sorry for the delay.

In the meantime parts of the Debian Policy has changed and I have 
altered the package again as to no more get lintian or other warnings 
except that I have the wrong version number. As soon as the version 
number is fixed I can upload the package again with the new standards 
version and all.

Thanks a lot,
and kind regards,

   Gunter.
