    Therefore, build a native Debian package

IMO, that's a very bad idea. this is a pain for downstream Debian
derivative who may want to add specific patches. With a native package,
it becomes less convenient to add distro-specific patches. Please don't
do this and re-upload a version of your package as non-native.

Generally, native packages are very Debian specific, like for example
apt, dpkg, etc. Unless you develop this kind of tool, IMO, don't use a
native package.

P.S: Some other DD may have a different opinion, like for example I know
Joey Hess finds it ok and even wrote about it, but I believe a majority
of DD will agree with me.
