Sure, that is a reasonable additon. Please keep the usual standard
of svn as we use:
- add a new tipa top level dir
- add trunk tags branches
- do in trunk what you think is best. I normally for big projects
  set the merfe-with-upstream property for svn-buildpackage and
  keep only the debian files in the svn, but you can do whatever you want
  of course.

;-) No problem, svn allows to revert changes ;-)
