 I think both are sensible and quite equally split; at least on my
 system, "apt-cache dumpavail | grep Version:.\*svn" shows a relatively
 equal number of dates and revisions (slightly more revisions than
 dates).  When one checks git snapshots, the proportions are in favor of
 dateS.

 I think dates are useful as well.

 If you need to map dates to revs or vice-versa, you can use svn info on
 the remote repo.  "svn info -r '{2007-12-01}' svn://..." or "svn info
 -r 13694 svn://...".

 Thanks for the note on debian/copyright though.
