I actually keep the debian subdirectory in upstream's SVN currently (as I'm
both the debian maintainer and an upstream developer).
I've brought it up to date for trunk, but running "pdebuild" failed with
complaints about man pages missing, which I've not fully debugged (the
man pages are generated with help2man, and I think are being cleaned
too eagerly).
For 1.0, I build source packages separately with this script in SVN:
xapian-maintainer-tools/debian/make-source-package
I've not had a chance to try that for trunk yet (though I have just updated
it to match changes in 1.0).
Anyway, feel free to have a go, and if you get it going, send a patch, or
tell me what you did.
Cheers,
Olly
