I noticed you switched to source version 3.0 from quilt to native.  I 
would suggest to keep using the quilt flavor even if not currently 
needing any patches: if at some point upstream code is changed - 
accidentally or deliberately - we want it to be treated by packaging 
routines as a patch, not a change by upstream.

Yes, that's correct.
