Just remember Steve that "svn+alioth" is specific to the [tunnel]
section of your own subversion config.

Otavio, I did some more thinking about the recent revamp of the rules,
and i'd like to propose a small optimisation.

It would make me more comfortable if the module source tarball was
assembled out of $(CURDIR), where upstream exists. I propose we stage
the tarball in debian/tmp. Its more portable to apply to the numerous
modules packages I maintain for Kanotix and does not allow the
oppurtunity to remove upstream files in "modules" existed in it (of
course you would be stupid not to check first).

This of course not a critical change and i doubt we'll be releasing
another revision until new upstream source is available, but I'd like to
hear some opinions before I commit this patch to svn.

Thanks, Kel.
