That would be useful, yes, but that's unrelated to a package being native or not. What I'm saying is, Debian source packages *must* be useful on their own aswell, for those corner cases where the VCS is not an appropriate place to turn to. (Provided there's a VCS at all, but that's another discussion again) -- |8] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
