Hello Ian, You've replaced or removed some wording which seemed to me to be helpful. For example,
A native source package is one that does not distinguish between
Debian packaging releases and upstream releases
seems to me at least if not more explanatory than talking about
"separate versioning", and
there may be multiple Debian package versions associated with a
single upstream release version and sharing the same upstream source
tar files.
seems easier to understand than
Successive updates to the package within Debian, based on the same
upstream version ...
(in particular, "upstream version" is ambiguous between "version of the
upstream source" and "upstream version number" in this sort of context;
I'd suggest avoiding it).
I would suggest putting the older phrasings back.
Also, you removed and them re-added "Most source packages in Debian are
non-native." between patches in the series. I'm not sure why that was
done but I would also like to suggest replacing it with "Most source
packages in Debian use non-native version numbering." because that seems
to me like the more important point.
