dpkg-source v2's feature set is, generally speaking, a superset of that
provided by dbs. If you're using straight dbs, the only thing you'll
have to do when converting to v2 is to make a real 'clean' target. DBS
puts everything in a 'build-tree', and its clean target just 'rm -rf's
that.
Anyways, the specific feature that was being requested (automatically
detecting tarballs/zip files that don't unpack into a single directory,
and handling them sanely) is already part of dpkg-source v2.
