Should be somewhere where you can "natually" invoke a package build
command. Ideally, and for $VCS that contain injected upstream sources,
it should be the root of a debianized source tree, i.e. `pwd` should
contain debian/.

For SVN, Vcs-Svn should then point to trunk/ and not to the dir above
it.

Cheers.
