I apparently got fooled by the tricky name of 3.0 _native_, as it refers to Debian native packages. This is of course not what I'm looking for. I hope at some point a package format that is friendlier with VCS' is developed. Until then I'm sticking with 1.0 for all my VCS-managed packages (I only maintain two packages that fit that criteria). 3.0 would be friendlier if it would only *not* automatically apply the patches when extracting the source. But then there's not much point for dpkg to know about patches.
