(Get the code!)
I'm sure there is something I'm missing here because it seems to me that for pkgme when it starts with a fresh sourcetree the complexity of building a non-native package is relatively low as it "just" needs to build the orig.tar.gz before it writes anything in the debian/ dir and even if it builds the debian dir it could build the orig.tar.gz by simply using tar --exclude=./debian/ (or somesuch, can't remember the exact syntax). I'm happy to work on this if there is agreement and if there is no major gap in my understanding.
