Yeah, I agree - one package per plugin is much easier to maintain.

It shouldn't be necessary to upload most plugins that often as they
don't use bzr API's that change that often.

I have packaged the following plugins earlier but not uploaded them yet
(they're already on bzr.debian.org):

 * bzr-hg
 * bzr-git
 * bzr-stats

What other plugins would qualify for packaging? Some that I personally
think would like to see Debianized are:

 * bzr-upload
 * bzr-loom
 * bzr-extmerge

All of the Ubuntu packages are already imported from Debian at the
moment, though the time between the upload to Sid and the import into
Ubuntu can sometimes be quite long. Maybe it would be possible to have a
more structural solution for that?

Cheers,

Jelmer
