Bug Description
I think that it would be easier to use prevu with the following command structure
prevu install <packagename>
prevu update -> prevu-update
prevu clean -> clean the prevu src and builds directories
prevu clean-all -> clean prevu/src, builds and pbuilder/aptcache
prevu clean-deb -> clean prevu/deb
The main reason is that everyone is used to apt-get.
An other small idea is to give a hint if there are unresolved dependencies, like
"It can happen that first you have to prevu some other packages, and don't use to forget to run prevu update before prevuing again <packagename>."

That would be a great idea to unify all prevu commands into a single command. However, doing so requires prevu to have a mechanism for parsing arguments.
If anyone is willing to provide a branch/patch to do that, I'd be happy to look at it :)
