Last night Thomas and I couldn't stop moaning how overengineered all of
this process of importing all the sources is.

After all, we're using dpatch, right? All our changes should be in the
debian directory, so is there a reason we want all the upstream sources
in CVS, if we're not going to touch them?

For my Debian packages managed in SVN (quite a few: all of GNOME,
mailutils, freeciv, etc), we just have the debian/ dir in SVN.
svn-buildpackage then merges what is in SVN with what it gets after
unpacking the orig.tar.gz. If there's a way of doing this in
cvs-buildpackage, that would be so much easier for me... because I don't
think SVN is an option, is it? :)

No, really. Do you think importing the sources is buying us anything?
