I guess there's some overlap with your other merge proposal. I can't review the whole thing again. Any chance you can make this branch depend on your other branch so that only the diffs in this branch are visible?

Couple of notes:

* There's some very cool stuff in the dev branch of bzr that will make the rmadison checks go away. I've been trying them out and they're fantastic.

* Often, when a package is out of date, instead of using apt-get source, i'll use `bzr import-dsc <url>` where the url is the remote url to the .dsc file. I usually grab those from packages.ubuntu.com. I like this a bit better because, while you cannot merge these import-dsc branches with the udd branch, you still get all the other benefits of version control.
