Well, no, this is not the right thing to do, debian/control should not be in
the repo, as it is a generated file. I guess the right thing to do would be to
fix svn-buildpackage to know how to generate the debian/control file, or do it
in steps, which i believe is possibly with svn-buildpackage.
Notice that this will play hell with cdbs based packages, which cannot use the
standard debian/control target for pure brokeness.
Stefano, you use both svn-buildpackage and the ocamlinit target, how do you
handle this ?
