I can add https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BzrBuildpackage which is a shortened
version of the README in bzr-builddeb.

I have been developing that for a while now. It is a reasonably capable
plugin of similar level to the other similar things for different
systems, though there are a few things to work out.

However it also has some unique features that I found interesting, and
plenty more are planned. However it is only really things that I have
thought might be useful, so it would be good to discuss them with a
group of people with experience.

I would also be interested in seeing where Ubuntu are thinking of going,
and contributing some ideas to that process.

The other people that I know might be interested in this are Wouter,
Jelmer, Reinhard, Martin and perhaps Lars.

Thanks,
