draft/braindump

General process

* scottk's post on current problems

merging in bzr

* conflicts when merging debian/changelog (bug 516060, https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr-builddeb/+bug/516056)

general bzr workflow

* bzr commit should default or provide a template that does something similar to debcommit (or suggest using debcommit?) * obvious way to diff is against the remote branch, which is slow 1

bzr builddeb

* inconsistent exposure of -S vs other flags 1 * needs dput, mark-uploaded and push vs just one 1

foreign branch support

* git submodule support is commonly requested * general robustness of bzr-git

launchpad ui

* not clear how to add missing registry data, eg missing upstream links?

soyuz

* needs more buildds, or better use of the existing ones, for daily builds to be useful
