Hi,
This is not a policy issue. Policy, and dpkg documentation,
defines what is or is not a debian native package. Whether or not a
package is native or not is left to the discretion of the
developer -- and common sense. At best, this is a bug in the
specific package you are finding fault with (apt-cache search
openmotif turned up a blank, so I am not reassigning this report)

Are there those in the land of the brave Who can tell me how I should
behave When I am disgraced Because I erased A file I intended to save?
