I'll try to remember to do a README next time I touch that tree.
There's a million and one ways to build a package from a Debian control
tree, so there's lots of options, but what I do is use the
svn-buildpackage meta package. You've got the idea right about, create
a new tag, update the control file (and the changelog), and then build
the package using some wrapper around "debian/rules" (not dh install,
though).
Once you've got svn-buildpackage installed, you're supposed to create a
directory up one level named "tarballs" (so $ROOT/tarballs,
$ROOT/trunk/debian) and do `debian/rules get-orig-source`.
From there, the svn-buildpackage command will take over and do all the
appropriate building from the control files.
