Yes I was just wondering why you choose to create a native package. The 
software seems to be useful for everyone or?
And I just thought it would be better to create a non-native package.
Then we also provide an .orig.tar.gz and a nice .diff.gz to document the 
changes.
Why did you create a native package?

Well you can decrease the severity to normal if you want, maybe important is 
too high, but i just want to keep the number of native packages to a minimum 
and only create them if necessary, but I might be wrong :)
