Alright, I'll add a dummy watch file or a README.source, but this
seems like strange grounds for rejection of a native package.

Good catch. This should already be fixed in trunk. Are you just
pointing this out, or is this considered grounds for rejection from
the NEW queue on its own? It seems like this is quoted from the output
of some kind of qa script? Is this something that could be added to
lintian, especially if it is grounds for rejection?

Thanks!
