Debian prefers that we not include a debian/ directory with our package since they handle management of that. What you may want to do is run 'apt-get source inkscape' in debian (or ubuntu) to get this.
If it's documented somewhere, you may also want to point him to the procedure for transplanting the debian/ directory to the SVN copy and updating the changelog, which is not trivial.
One approach:
tar czf inkscape-20070719.tar.gz inkscape/ apt-get source inkscape cd inkscape-0.45-0ubuntu4/ uupdate -u inkscape-snap.tar.gz -v 0.45~20070719
For updating the debian changelog:
dch -i # insert a new entry dch -e # edit the most recent entry
Not sure on that version string, but if you're just doing it for local consumption it probably doesn't matter - whatever helps you keep track of things easiest. More info can be had at man uupdate, man dch, or
