This is not the correct way to do this.

Check out the SVN
Run ./autogen.sh
Run "make dist"
Rename libpqxx-3.0.0.orig.tar.gz to libpqxx_3.0.0~svn1376.orig.tar.gz
Now copy the .orig.tar.gz and add your debian/ directory changes.  You
should never run ./autogen.sh as part of the build (you need to
build-depend on autoconf/automake/libtool/doxygen and other things).
Doing it this way gives you a tarball just like upstream release, and
you don't need to alter the build, just use 3.0.0~SVN-version in
debian/changelog.

I would also hightly recommend that you send a diff of all your
debian/ directory packaging changes to upstream so that the Debian
packaging is kept in sync.


Regards,
Roger
