Package: svn-buildpackage
Version: 0.8.0
Severity: normal

If the upstream tarball in the tarballs directory is a symlink to the
"real" upstream tarball in the same directory svn-buildpackage follows
this symlink upon --svn-export and creates a hard-link to the target of
the symlink in the build-area directory. But because this "orig" tarball
in the build-area now has the wrong name it is not recognized by
dpkg-source and dpkg-source builds a native package.

svn-buildpackage should instead create a hard link with the name of the
original symlink it followed or create a symlink to the symlink in the
tarballs directory.

Example:
tarballs/foo_linux-1.2.3.tar.gz (file downloaded from upstream with upstreams 
filename)
tarballs/foo_1.2.3.orig.tar.gz -> foo_linux-1.2.3.tar.gz (symlink created to 
have the correct name)
build-area/foo_linux-1.2.4.tar.gz (hard link created by svn-buildpackage 
--svn-export)
build-area/foo_1.2.3.orig.tar.gz (svn-buildpackage --svn-export should create 
either a hard link or a symlink with this name)
