May I ask why did you convert the package to native?
* the upstream package is useful outside Debian
* the upstream package _exists_ (ie, doesn't come from Debian)
* the packaging hasn't been fully adapted to native

Generally, only stuff like debhelper makes sense as native, even if you're
upstream -- clear separation between upstream and packaging parts allows
other people to make non-maintainer uploads that can be reasonably
incorporated into your master repository.

(I haven't looked at other changes yet.)


Meow!
