I have just now added some lines to README.Debian-source:
-------
The following commands will generate the sources:
# make a temporary directory and chdir to it
root=$(mktemp -d)
cd $root
# checkout the texlive repository
svn co svn://tug.org/texlive/tags/texlive-2007.0/Master
# checkout the debian stuff !don't miss the final DOT!!!
svn co svn://svn.debian.org/debian-tex/texlive-new/trunk .
# generate the orig.tar.gz for texlive packages
# replace $src with one of texlive-base, -bin, -extra, -doc, -lang
perl tpm2deb-source.pl make-orig-tar --master=./Master $src
-------------
I also have worked a bit on SVN/texlive-new/trunk/README to explain what
is going on.

I don't know how to write a decent watch file, but I would use either
the web interface, if possible, to svn:
http://www.tug.org/svn/texlive/tags/texlive-2007.0
or the tug.org ftp server.
