Yes, I've been meaning to do that.

Actually, I don't use svn-buildpackage at all - I use debuild and "debcommit -r"
instead. I untar the upstream source and move the .svn and debian directories to
it. The reason is mainly that I think that the svn-buildpackage dance is too
slow on my system, and I like having the source checked out and available so I
can easily look at it.

This way of working (moving .svn and debian manually) has become cumbersome,
however. And I like the idea of only having to issue one command to check out
the entire source of the package.

Perhaps not so hard, but with the structure I'm using, it's a bit inconvenient.
