2. is what I usually do, with this in ~/.devscripts:
DEBUILD_DPKG_BUILDPACKAGE_OPTS="-i'(?:^|/).*~$|(?:^|/)\..*\.swp|DEADJOE|(?:/CVS|/RCS|/\.svn|/\.deps|/\{arch\}|/\.arch-ids)(?:$|/)' -ICVS -I.svn -uc -us"
DEBUILD_PRESERVE_ENVVARS=DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE
DEBUILD_LINTIAN=yes
DEBUILD_LINDA=yes
However, building apt-setup and user-setup left me with
prebaseconfig/.svn directories. Not wanting to investigate too far and
rather release user-setup after a busy week-end tracking down its quirks, I
went up with this workaround.
So, I actually wonder why, even with these variables in ~/.devscripts,
running "debuild" on a copy of the SVN directories of apt-setup or
user-setup builds packages with prebaseconfig.d/.svn
