Well, is just another layout style I've seen in some repositories for
collaborative maintainance of packages (e.g. the svn repository of ocaml
maintainers).

No, you can use {cvs,svn}-buildpackage in merge mode which creates
debianized source trees just before invoking dpkg-buildpackage.

I agree it might open the road to everyone asking why not look for
.orig.tar.gz also here and there ...
What about adding a configuration option (e.g. "origtargz_path") which
could be put in .dpatch.conf whose semantics is to list all directories
where dpatch-get-origtargz should look for .orig.tar.gz before falling
back to apt-get source?
It would be a flexible sollution which wont pollute dpatch's code.
Cheers.
