Can you contact the archive maintainer (via bugs at d.o?) to remove the
obsolete file from the previous release? Or ist this done automatically?

I use pbuilder because I only need the unstable chroot for building
packages. And pbuilder helps with checking that I specified the correct
build-depends and automatically installs them.

svn-buildpackage helps building with svn, checking for needed sync with
svn, doing tags etc. e.g you missed tagging the releases you made.

I use the following commands:

svn co svn+alioth://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-openssl/openssl/trunk

or

svn co
svn+alioth://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-openssl/openssl/branches/openssl0.9.7

for the checkout. For building I use

svn-buildpackage -rfakeroot --svn-ignore-new -kB5CE5497

which ignores uncommited changes and the UNRELEASED distribution tag in
the changelog.

svn-buildpackage also has the advantage that the build-process does not
change the files in the checked out repository, which happened with your
Configure script which you checked in. Look at the #! line at the
beginning. svn-buildpackage also automatically merges the few files
which are in svn into the upstream archive.

Before each build you also should do an svn update the get the latest
checkins.

After the upload I do

svn-buildpackage --svn-tag-only

which makes a copy of the current state to the tags directory with the
correct Debian version number.
