prepare scripts should be abolished

Hello all,

During the weekend I have looked more thouroughly over the
svn-buildpackage man page to see if prepare scripts could be ditched.
It seems they can :-)

All is needed is to add the line containing "origDir =
some/path/to/orig/tarballs" in the .svn/deb-layout file under the
trunk folder. (There is also ~/.svn-buildpackage.conf and, iirc,
/etc/svn-buildpackage.conf)

Indeed the paths can be only local paths, so the prepare scripts'
purpose would be just to populate the some/path/to/orig/tarballs
directory.

It would be nice if the deb-layout file would be embedded as a svn
property and svn-buildpackage would read it... (I will fill a bug) and
if there would be a URL property for the upstream (not sure if
deb-layout could already contain such a field).
