yes, you can specify in the debian/*layout a directory (under
svn control or not) where the orig tarballs are found. For instance,
in the case of tuareg-mode I now have orig tarballs in
pkg-ocaml-maint/trunk/packages/tuareg-mode/upstream
Concerning fetching them by apt-get source: it might be possible.
Svn-buildpackage has hooks at different stages of the build
process where you can plug in scripts. I'll have to check.

Yes, of course. But first we should come to an agreement on the
principle.
