sure, svn-buildpackage is a tool make the handling of debian packages in svn
easier. You can choose different tree layout, what we are currently using is:

<package>/{trunk,tags,branches}/

in "trunk" there is the active copy (i.e. the one you want to work with) while in
"tags" there are the released versions and "branches" the various upstream (and
eventually the derivate distributions)

what is not included in svn repositories are the upstream tarballs, you need to
make a tarballs directory alongside trunk,tags,branches.

you can find more detailed instructions at /usr/share/doc/svn-buildpackage.
note also that svn-buildpackage is meant to have the same behaviour as
dpkg-buildpackage

this looks like a svn-buildpackage bug, it should start building the package
when launched without arguments and when you are in the trunk directory.

allright, get yourself acquainted with svn-buildpackage and pkg-bluetooth :)

I saw you have elaborated on the wiki, thanks! I probably need to expand that
section even more. And make an official announcement for pkg-bluetooth, too :|

have fun,
