Thank you Guido -- export_dir works fine in the version in experimental. The next step is to (citing ;) ,-- | also, it would be terriffic if there were descrimination between | output_dir and tarball_dir (again stinks with svn-buildpackage) -- it | comes handy quite often. `-- indeed it might be a bit of storage waste (unless copied with -l) but I don't like to keep build-area dirty so I remove built packages occasionally and I want to preserve orig.tar.gz files, so it is better to keep them separately in ../tarballs for instance. So gbp just needs to check (if there is no orig in build-area already) if there is such in ../tarballs (or some other configurable directory)
