Is this a one-time thing? If so, I would just create a tarball manually.
But overall you need to make sure the SVN repo contains the same files as
the published tarball, otherwise the compression difference is not the
largest problem you could have.
Also, the best way is probably submitting a patch for gbp to make the
repacked tarball compression configurable.
