[Monotone-debian] Has anyone really determined what a "native package" is?

[Richard Levitte]

Hey,

I've tried to figure out what a "native package" is, and all I can
find is different voice, basically splitting in two camps:

1. "native package" is a package that can be built for Debian directly
   from the source, and thus really needs no Debian-specific diff.
2. "native package" is a package that has been created exclusively for
   Debian, i.e. it originates from the inside the Debian project.

If 1 is true, then I'd say monotone is a native package, and in that
case, having the debian-diff branch is silly (which it basically
already is, as it forces us to maintain two, possibly slightly
different, debian/ structures).  If 2 is true, then we should of
course continue as we've done until now, but quite honestly, I'm
unsure how wise that makes keeping the debian/ tree in the n.v.m
branch.

Cheers,
Richard
