You can even do it without changing svn at all. :-)

dpkg-buildpackage finds out if a package is native by looking for a
package_version.orig.tar.gz file in the parent of the build directory.  If
that doesn't exist, it considers it a native package.  If it does, it'll be a
normal non-native package.

Thanks,
