I suppose you are probably correct. I'm just not sure about how much
extra effort is necessary to make git-buildpackage work with a git-svn
checked out repo. Out-of-the-box it doesn't work for me.

A random blog post I found suggests the problem might not be
completely trivial.

I'm willing to be convinced otherwise of course.
