First, sorry for the long time it took for me to answer. I was on a medical leave and I had limited access to internet during the winter holidays.
Second, thanks for your work. I really appreciate it.

I think is futile to create code update a file that is mere local override. Of course, arguments in favour of your proposal might make me changemy mind. About the other changes, I think that the idea of fetching the orig tarball via a script should be designed as a "I want to update to the newest version" scenario. In other words, I think this should a manually commanded fetch so that the maintainer explicitly does the upgrade and, when it does so it should rely on the get-orig-source rule specified by the debian policy. Also, it might, indeed make sense to try to fetch the tarball from an upstream location, but the way that is done should rely on the watch file and/or the get-orig-source rule. I see no point in going around the policy and create some external scripts for this purpose. In any case, I will soon look closer at your changes and tell you my opinion, but I have a feeling you over-complicate the problem. I would rather make svn-inject smarter or expand on the meaning of the svn-bp:origUrl property and how is handled rather than adding a new mechanism. In any case, thanks for the support. Maybe you'll like to tackle one of the points in the todo[1] file meanwhile (may I suggest the last one?).
