I usually do it this way, for packages that already have a .orig.tar.gz
for that version in the archive:
$ svn co svn+ssh://nomeata@svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-perl/packages/libstatistics-descriptive-perl/trunk libstatistics-descriptive-perl
$ cd tarballs
$ wget ...debian/archive/path/to/statistics-descriptive_2.6.orig.tar.gz
$ cd ..
$ cd libstatistics-descriptive-perl/
$ svn-buildpackage --svn-move --svn-builder debuild -uc -us
fakeroot debian/rules clean || debian/rules clean
dh_testdir
[...]
Now running lintian...
W: libstatistics-descriptive-perl source:
native-package-with-dash-version
Finished running lintian.

Yeah, that is indeed trippy. What I figured out so far (maybe this
should be put in subversion.pod):
If there is already a version with the same upstream version of this
package in debian, put the appropriate tarball in the tarballs/
directory, otherwise don't worry about it (not sure about the second
part right now)

Sidenote: You should not tag the release. Tagging is done by the one who
does the final upload (in your case your sponsor), using
svn-buildpackage --svn-tag, so that the tagged version is quaranteed to
be the one used to build the uploaded package. You can testbuild using
the trunk. You probably should delete the tagged release from svn.

Hmm. I can't remember ever having had to do that. Not sure though.
(slightly confused) can anyone else on the list help?Ü

With debuild, no need for -rfakeroot, otherwise ok.

I get the original tar ball by using apt-get source
libstastistics-descriptive-perl and then deleting everything but the
orig.tar.gz

I hope I could help. As you can see, I'm not so much an expert of
svn-buildpackage myself, I just get along :-)

That's ok, we usually keep adding random people from the group to
uploaders as need arises :-)
