Then (whether there is an upstream change or not) it should be uploaded
to a PPA. I think the part here that I don't really get is basically how to use bzr build-deb in practice. But I've just found http://jameswestby.net/bzr/builddeb/user_manual/merge.html so I think I should read that first :)
I do bzr bd && bzr bd -S followed by some pbuilder commands. Look at .bzr-builder/ in each packaging branch.
OK, I think I've got a handle on this now. Two points:
1) We should build for lucid and copy to the newer series (I assume). An alternative would be to use recipes.
2) It's a right pain in the backside when the PPA queue is 11-12 hours like it is now.
