The current layout was suggested by Jeroen van Wolffelaar, and I
adopted it after looking at several pkg-* in svn.debian.org and
realizing that there was no standard.

The main problem of the current layout is that it does not allow to
build packages automatically with the current svn tools.  Would the
modification you suggest fix this?

Apart from that, in the past I've found the branches/tags options in
CVS quite useful to spot where a bug had appeared or disappeared, and
that's why I thought it was a good idea for the SVN repository, given
the fact that SVN does not have branches and tags, and the fact that
we cannot really "check out" the Debian versions (we cannot depend on
snapshot.debian.net, after the way it broke down this year).

So, what would be the best solution for this?
