Package: svn-buildpackage
Version: 0.6.14

It seems that it's not possible to use svn-buildpackage to build packages
out of the X Strike Force's svn repo, due to use of svn:externals which are
not honored by svn-buildpackage when exporting. :(  I don't know if this is
a bug in svn-buildpackage or a limitation of svn itself, but if this can be
fixed, it would be nice.

Ok - I'll take your word for this, thanks.  I just didn't glean that from
the changelog description (and I guess no one bothered Cc:ing me on any of
the discussion after I first filed the bug).
