+Explanation: This non-native package makes no changes to the upstream sources
+ in the Debian-related files.
+ .
+ Maybe a mistake was made when the upstream tarball was created, or maybe this
+ package is really a native package but was built non-native by mistake.
+ .
+ Debian packaging is sometimes maintained as part of upstream, but that is not
+ recommended as best practice. Please make this package native, if the software
+ is only for Debian. Otherwise, please remove the <code>debian</code> directory
+ from upstream releases and add it in the Debian packaging.
+ .
+ Format 1.0 packages are subject to the restriction that the diff cannot remove
+ files from the <code>debian</code> directory. For Format 3.0 packages, the
+ <code>debian</code> directory is automatically purged during unpacking.
