[Svn-bp-devel] Bug#623163: mergeWithUpstream should remove pre-existing debian/ directory (at least for source format 3.0)

[Vincent Fourmond]

Package: svn-buildpackage
Version: 0.8.3
Severity: normal

  Hello,

  To best mimick the behaviour of dpkg-source with format 3.0 in the
"mergeWithUpstream" mode, any pre-existing debian/ directory should be
stripped before copying over the files from the SVN directory.

  Cheers,

	Vincent
