Ok, i have done some looking in the svn-buildpackage manpage and you can
easily do :
svn-buildpackage --svn-prebuild="debian/rules debian/control" ...
I wonder if this line can also be added as prebuild hook in some random file,
i suppose you can add it to .svn/svn-buildpackage.conf, not sure about
debian/svn-layout though. The syntax would be :
svn-prebuild="debian/rules debian/control"
Stefano, i think you have the most experience with the svn-buildpackage magic,
would you care to comment ?
Friendly,
