I think before we pick a VCS, I'd suggest discussing the VCS style.  Should 
it be a debian dir only packaging VCS and stil use a patch system or a repo 
carrying the full upstream source and the packaging with changes to 
upstream code managed in the VCS?

My concern is that since this upstream does not have a good track record of 
having what's in their svn match what they put in their tarball we really 
can't rely on pulls from their svn.

BTW, I'm happy to work on learning git if that's what's decided.
