I suppose you meant /usr/share/doc/gnome-pkg-tools/README.Debian.gz in
gnome-pkg-tools.
It should be obvious if you already used svn-buildpackage which is also
documented.
Please don't try building your own GNOME 2.12 packages and messing with
your system. We spend an awful lot of time diagnosing bugs caused by
locally compiled GNOME 2.12 modules, or unofficial packages.
If you want to have GNOME 2.12 you can run Ubuntu, or you can
debootstrap it in a chroot.
Bye,
