It's the case for most of ubuntu-desktop package and some other packages where dx is upstreamed. People contributing to ubuntu will follow http://people.canonical.com/~dholbach/packaging-guide/html/udd- intro.html#getting-the-source and so, propose the patch against the wrong branch. See here an example: https://code.launchpad.net/~amoog/ubuntu/oneiric/libqtbamf/lp-765915/+merge/65132 I discussed about launchpad automatically taking Vcs-Bzr in my last patch pilot report: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu- devel/2011-June/033449.html However, it seems that for debian/ only packaging branch, it's not suited to set it them. Can then the packaging guide suggest to check debcheckout or something else like Vcs-Bzr to check which branch is actually the packaging branch?
