No problem. ;)

Well, you run all other rules from there as well, e.g. think about 
where you run 'fakeroot debian/rules clean' from.

It's a temporary directory that will be deleted afterwards anyway.

For your understanding, the script is supposed to be run inside your 
local SVN tree *before* you even have the source code (note that it 
saves the tarball in ../tarballs). I.e. you prepare a new package by 
first creating a new changelog entry (introducing a new source 
version) and secondly running the get-orig-source rule. Not till then 
you have your working source tarball.

Argh, it's supposed to be 'sh ../debian/strip.dh', I guess.

IMHO it doesn't matter where the temporary directory is created. The 
other steps are allready provided by the rule, with the exeption of 
the fact that it stores the tarball in ../tarballs to provide that 
it's found by svn-buildpackage (as I tried to explain above).
OTOH, where do you expect the get-orig-source rule to find the 
debian/strip.sh script and how could it guess the package version 
number (via dpkg-parsechangelog, not hard-coding) if it's not run from 
the top level source directory?

Hm, we could compare which symbols are provided by the libraries 
before and after running debian/strip.sh (and then compiling...).
