1. I do not see why using pdebuild vs svn-buildpackage would be a problem 2. I just do not understand how one could use safely svn-buildpackage. 2.a It uses *my* packages instead of whatever buildd machine will be using to build the package for other platforms. 2.b svn-buildpackage cannot be used, since you'll easily miss Build-Depends (can only detect using pdebuild) Ideally I do not even understand why people are doing binary upload instead of source upload...
