We have both debianlp: and apt:. Both might be relevant, depending on what you're trying to do. When merging from Debian inside of a UDD package, you probably want debianlp: since that has shared history with ubuntu:. When contributing back to an upstream Debian package (like http://bzr.debian.org/bzr/pkg-bazaar/bzr/unstable, for bzr itself) you probably want apt:bzr or something like that, which looks at the Vcs-Bzr header in the package. It would be nice if we could make the importer base its import branches on the official Debian branches; that way this distinction would become less important (and contributing back and forth to Debian would become easier).
