Thanks I had been pointed at bzr-pipeline, I'll probably end up using
it for some of this.

I have run into another problem with the upstream project, it seems
that the version we're using is not a descendant of the current head
:( and it's been split up into separate app + libraries. So whatever I
do, I'll end up having to cherry pick just our patches (or re-writing
them to suit the current head). I see some coding in my future.
