Source in Bazaar, building Debian source package format 3.0

[Ben Finney]

Howdy all,

We have a useful ‘bzr-buildpackage’ program to take a Bazaar repository
and build a Debian package. This has served me reasonably well with the
Debian source format version 1.0.

Now a change is coming: the long-fermenting Debian source formats
version 3.0 <URL:http://wiki.debian.org/Projects/DebSrc3.0> are now
supported by the Debian package repositories.

The move is now on to get the package-development tools up to speed with
the new formats, as discussed at
<URL:http://wiki.debian.org/Projects/DebSrc3.0#Validationofalltoolswithnewsourceformats>.
Unfortunately ‘bzr-buildpackage’ is listed as “Not tested yet”.

What can I expect if I try using ‘bzr-buildpackage’ on a code base
specified as Debian source format “3.0 (native)” or “3.0 (quilt)”? Has
anyone succeeded, or have war stories to tell?
