On a semi-related note, the deb_changelog merger in bzr-builddeb is
wonderful when it works, but in certain kinds of merging (e.g. PPA
backports) it often does not do the right thing. I think we should try
to come up with a command line interface for enabling/disabling special
mergers (that is a bit less blunt than --no-plugins !)
