Actually svn-inject also has a '-l' argument:
"Layout type. 1 (default) means package/{trunk,tags,branches,...}
scheme, 2 means the {trunk,tags,branches,...}/package scheme. 2 is
not implemented yet."
Note that even though l2 is not yet implemented, bug #338389 does
contain a patch for it, so if anyone is friends with Eduard Bloch
perhaps they could convince him to include the patch (or some varient of
it).

You can actually do that already, i.e. with layout type 2.
svn-buildpackage is already aware of both directory layout types.

Well, there is one big disadvantage to that. Currently those who want to
checkout the trunk of all of the packages can do so with the path
pkg-java/trunk. This is a type of behavior which one would expect from a
few serious debian-java developpers.
With layout type 1, which you are proposing above, it would be
impossible to checkout the trunk of every package without also getting
every branch and tag, which noone should ever want to do.
I think this may have been the reason that we went for the current
directory layout to begin with.

I think I've covered that already. To summarize, svn-buildpackage should
work fine as is, and svn-inject just needs the '-l' flag implemented for
type 2 layouts.
