I'd like to use zodb, and it looks as if the most recent Debian version

software, it looks as if zodb 5 with python 3 sometimes has significant
performance advantages.
I believe I could just install it using easy_install, but since this has many
dependencies I'll end up with a lot of local python packages that the Debian
package system won't know about.
So I thought I might try updating the existing package (and maybe its
dependents). It has some oldish (1 year) requests for newer updates against
it, and so I suspect the maintainers aren't too active. The control file
references Vcs-Svn: svn://anonscm.debian.org/pkg-zope/zodb/trunk, which has
only the debian directory.
I'm guessing this is all supposed to work with svn-bp.alioth.debian.org, but am
not sure how to proceed. And since I don't have or want commit privileges, I'm
not sure that working with subversion is a good idea.
Any suggestions how to proceed? I have also downloaded a semi-random python3
package (python3-bitarray, which has some C code) to see how things are
packaged for python3.
Should I expect that the debhelper scripts will be able to figure out the
dependent packages without my need to specify them explicitly?
Thanks.

Isn't there a maintainer/uploader for this package, whom you could ask?
