Debian package format should be 'native', not 'quilt' #1
Description
When building the Debian package with dpkg-buildpackage, the following error is
received:
dpkg-source: error: can't build with source format '3.0 (quilt)': no upstream tarball found at ../pymds_0.3.orig.tar.{bz2,gz,lzma,xz}
This is because debian/source/format contains:
3.0 (quilt)
If you are only building a binary package, you can work around this by passing
the '-b' flag to dpkg-buildpackage. However, if you want to build a source
package to upload to a build server, this must be fixed like so:
$ echo '3.0 (native)' > debian/source/format
dpkg-buildpackage and the like then work correctly (including the automagic
creation of a .tar.gz).
