I don't use/know svn-buildpackage, but cvs-buildpackage and I can tell
you, it is very easy to use (so I think, svn-buildpackage is too if you
know svn).

If you want to have a look at a cvs-repo for Debian packages have a look
at http://cvs.wgdd.de/cgi-bin/cvsweb/?cvsroot=debian. So if you want,
you can also test cvs-buildpackage with anonymous checkout. If you
really want to give it a try, I suggest to use "cvs-buildpackage
-C'debuild ...'".

Make an export, not a checkout. But normally debuild/pdebuild should not
complain about .svn dirs. Do you mean linda/lintian? In this case, you
need to add a short ignore-warning hint for linda/lintian. BTW: I
suggest to use
DEBUILD_LINTIAN=yes
DEBUILD_LINDA=yes
DEBUILD_LINTIAN_OPTS="-i -I"
DEBUILD_LINDA_OPTS="-i"
in /etc/devscripts.conf (runs linda and lintian automatically after
every debuild run and it further outputs some more info).
just my 2 cents
