Hi! Actually, the in-subversion debian/* tree isn't up to date. If you want to try to build a debian package from subversion, I'd recommend starting with the official Debian unstable diff: http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/i/inkscape/inkscape_0.44.1-1.diff.gz
Actually, it's generally recommended that upstreams not have a debian/ directory. Bryce, Nathan, Aaron, you're listed in the control and changelog files. Would anyone object if this directory was removed from Subversion? I think it may confuse more than it helps. :)
I wouldn't object to removing it, but I think it would be cooler if we could find a volunteer to maintain it. Any debian familiar people interested in such a task?
