Oh, that one (and the version number and possible patches in the
future).  You have to run "fakeroot debian/rules sarge" before creating
the source package.  If we want to do this with svn-buildpackage, we
would probably need a branch for sarge that differs only in that one
command, but has to be kept synchrone to the main branch continuously.
I don't think that this is worth it.

If you use Emacs, you can simply use the built-in functions;  I don't
mind if your name and e-mail ends up in the "signature", since for an
upload I need to change version and release anyway.
