I agree with pretty much everything you wrote back then. In particular, I find your proposal still relevant:

What I would propose is to separate these concepts cleanly so that we can talk about them in a clearer way. We should define native and non-native packages in terms of version numbers, and allow both native and non-native packages to use single-tarball source package formats. We may want to steer people away from using the single-tarball source package format for the *normal* case of packaging upstream software, but I think it's well within the sorts of trade-off decisions that packagers already make and there are cases where a single tarball source format makes sense.
I think this is covered by the TC decision. If not, we should make it so.
