Actually, Jelmer made it such that bzr-builddeb will detect this and so it /should/ do the right thing if you just run "bzr bd" in your SVN checkout of DPMT. Bugs welcome if it doesn't, or if there are other things we can do to make this work easier. I'm all for getting collaboration with Debian to the same point as we are at with UDD just targetting Ubuntu. I think one issue is that I only really considered "Ubuntu developer that just sends patches to Debian" and "Ubuntu developer that can upload the package to Debian," not "Ubuntu developer that can commit to Debian SVN."
