yeah -- debcheckout is indeed cool... especially when it carries
complete source or instructions on how to inject/add upstream
sources... not sure why at that point I've not decided to git-svn clone
also upstream into it -- may be just was tired or was afraid of upstream
reliance upon SVN keywords... not sure now

Whatever works, although I would prefer not to compress any python
script since it cannot be easily imported/interpreted while compressed ;)

I prefer to address all lintian warnings since it makes things cleaner
in the long run... yes I can read Build-Depends to discover dependency
on quilt and figure out how it works by browsing the web (yes I do not
use quilt on regular basis)

Great! See it in experimental... although technically speaking
1.0~rc1~svn1492
should have been
1.0~rc1+svn1492
since it followed rc1 and now:
$> dpkg --compare-versions 1.0~rc1~svn1492-1 gt 1.0~rc1-1 && echo yes || echo no
no
but well -- most of people haven't seen ~rc1 package so should be ok in
the long run ;)
