We're not using pristine-tar with svn, right now; if you build a
package from svn, you need to fetch the upstream tarball from the
archive or via uscan anyway (probably by letting svn-buildpackage do
it for you). So it seems to me this is more a case of "adding
pristine-tar", not "dropping pristine-tar", unless you're referring to
the handful of packages already in git instead of svn.
(Not disagreeing with your point here, just clarifying the issue)
