I just discussed this with Moritz Mühlenhoff on #debian-security. His  
request is to leave all genDSA specific stuff in the genD{S,L}A script  
untouched.

For the LTS workflow, we could consider this:

  (a) Adding option --commit which does the SVN commit directly,
      only available if also --save is given
  (b) Commit directly, if --save is given. Allow old functionality
      of --save in conjunction with a new option --no-commit.

Feedback, thoughts?

Mike
