I can tell from svn-buildpackage which is definitely *not* ready for new package formats. It even doesn't parse the new compression methods (bz2 is repacked to gz at the moment). I started working on svn-bp improvements some time ago but as it turns out I'm pretty much alone with that atm. So, I don't know when svn-bp will be ready but everyone interested in helping please contact me! :) Hauke
