Hi!

This package uses a native source format, with a non-native version,
which is rather confusing and subverts the semantics of both the
source and version formats.

This currently produces a lintian error, and with dpkg-dev 1.20.1 it
will start producing warnings, but my intention is to eventually make
it error out.

Please, either use a non-native source format, or a native version,
so that these are coherent.

From the historical data in snapshot.debian.org, this would appear as
this package started using native version since (20050114) matching
the native source format used, but went back to using non-native
versions in 20120626-1.

Thanks,
Guillem
