Since I keep the debian/ directory in the upstream VCS, does that make them native? What about the upstream where I am not involved in upsteam development, but which for every Debian package release incorporates the official Debian packaging stuff upsteam? Is that package native?
One of the packages in whose upstream maintenance I participate has a -doc package with a ~5MB .orig.tar.gz. Are you suggesting that because I keep the debian/ directory in the same VCS as upstream development that I need to make a ~5MB upload everytime I make an upload to fix something trivial? I am not trying to be pedantic or sarcastic. I really want to know since if that is the case, then I am not maintaining my packages properly. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.
