See cvs-buildpackage. I keep all my packages in cvs, and I'm not alone.
Most of them are kept on my personal cvs server, and only I have commits
to (most of) those. Some are kept on cvs.debian.org and all developers
have commits to those.

I keep the entire source trees in cvs though. Disk space is cheap and
it's much more convenient.
