packaging has native version but is actually quilt

[Cody Garver]

In the grub2 changelog we see the version is grub2 (2.00-22), a native version.

But the package actually carries quilt patches

New changes to dpkg in trusty make launchpad builds of this package fail because of the mismatch

What? There isn't anything special in the package version number to indicate that it is native vs quilt source format.

"-22" indicates a native version

No, it doesn't.. a -nn simply indicates that the debian package revisision number is nn. Whether the source format is 1.0, 3.0(quilt), or 3.0(native) doesn't matter.

Sorry, Launchpad (dpkg) is forcing all builds to be native and native does
not allow revisions in the version

You're still not making sense. You can't force a build to be native. Either the source format is native, or it is not, and even native packages still must have a debian revision.
