I believe the way I repack orig tar its the right way to do it. Please 
remember that we will have to convince ftp-masters as well. Generally 
speaking it is better to be safe than sorry. I'm not really that interested 
to discuss DFSG repacking... Nothing that is being removed is even remotely 
needed.

True. :)
Funny enough I've never used "svn-buildpackage" and my attempts to use "git-
buildpackage" ended up with much disappointment about more sophisticated 
workflow and no benefits in regards to time saving. Call me old-fashioned but 
I just extract orig tar, add "debian" directory on top and build with 
whatever tool I choose. I could never understand how that simple process 
could benefit from frontends like GBP...
