Without having actually tried it:
The big difference would be SVN history. That's the interesting part of
my import.

Doing that in a mass conversion worried me, because the dpm transform
isn't perfectly reversible. If we're going to tag uploads in the
package's history, I'd like them to perfectly correspond to uploads to
the archive.
I think conversion to DPM is something we do to all the packages, at a
single point in time, not retroactively.

Yes, that's the big decision in front of us, now.
