That's the problem. It's ignoring your --native for some reason.

I don't understand that. bug 586617 requests the feature to auto-detect
native pased on debian/source/format, and I certainly haven't coded it,
so I suspect that it is in fact some other change that means this works for
you.

It is worth fixing, and I believe that is the bug that Clint was seeing
when I asked you to report this one.

So, /this/ bug is about --native not working, and it using merge mode
instead for some reason, possibly related to the presence of the
debian/source/format file, there is an existing bug for debian/source/format
to imply --native, and there is another bug which I will file about
removed files causing an error.

Thanks,
