Ok, let me recapitulate, we have decided to store the .orig.tar.gz tarball, and put the debian directory in the SVN repository ? If there is a new upstream release, there is a new .orig.tar.gz ? Why not put the whole upstream tarball in uncompressed form in SVN then ? It would spare space in the long time. Also, how do we make the link between a given .orig.tar.gz and its corresponding debian directory ?

I will now use dpatch for all of my packages. Yep, it is much more economic when a new version comes out, right. Do you per chance remember what documentation you used to become familiar with dpatch ? I suppose i will have to look at the package documentation, everything will be in it.
