NP, I am happy with a flat directory, too.

Re-reading the documention it is obviously documented in manpage,
HOWTO and /usr/share/doc/svn-buildpackage/CONFIG. (/me starts
flagellating.) However I think overriding/setting a default value for
origDir might be pretty common - how about noting that this can be
done with -override prominently in the HOWTO?
I am not very confident about this, this is just a thought, if you
think it to be unnecessary feel free to close this bug without making
any change.
thanks, cu andreas
