Hey, you usually make one commit per change you do, why did you do these
two changes (bringing svn to 1.5.2-dfsg-1 and tagging it) in one commit?
Might bew better to do two again so you can tell the log file in detail
how bad other guys are.

Guess what I've done packages build from svn before.

You were the one asking for an upload, remember? I said let's wait for
the release and did the upload then as promised despite being busy atm.
We also shouldn't forget that we are talking about what, 30 minutes?
It's not that package already was installed.

Sorry, but this is not how I think people should work together. It's
okay that you couldn't wait and did the commit, no complaint from my
side, but pointing fingers is completely useless.
