I do the same, many other DD's too.
The simple solution is this:
Keep the debian/* files in CVS/SVN.
Don't package the debian/* files in the distributed tarball.
Simple.
When building the packages, you simply download the released tarball as
usual, copy your debian/* files into place and build. You retain all
the advantages of building the unreleased code for test packages direct
from CVS/SVN.

You can do whatever you like as long as the debian/ directory is NOT
part of the released tarball.
Thanks for the advice; I've just put together a shell script to do all
this for me. Should this produce a native package?
#!/bin/bash
svn update jabbin/
REVISION=`svn info jabbin/ | grep "Revision" | cut -f 2 -d " "`
DATE=`date +%Y%m%d`
VERSION="2.1~$DATE.svn.r$REVISION"
DIR="jabbin-$VERSION"
cp -r jabbin $DIR
mkdir tmp$DIR
cd $DIR
find | grep "\.svn" | xargs rm -rf
mv debian/ patches/ ../tmp$DIR
cd ..
tar cvzf $DIR.orig.tar.gz $DIR
cd $DIR
mv ../tmp$DIR/* .
dch -v $VERSION
dpkg-buildpackage -sa -rfakeroot
