I agree, if someone is actively working on a packaging branch, then the package importer work should be based off of that. I personally don't know whether package-importer should be able to push to lp:~ubuntu-desktop/indicator-power/ubuntu, vs pushing to just lp:ubuntu/indicator-power, but sharing the history of the other one.

If we find it happening a lot, then automating it would make sense.
