 Actually I liked Steve Langasek's approach of putting the UDD branch in
 Vcs-Bzr when the UDD branch is used to stage UNRELEASED changes

 (We usually don't but lp:ubuntu URLs in Vcs-Bzr because it's kind of
 implicit that we have this branch in every package, but there is not
 way to tell whether the UDD branch is in use or not; listing it
 explicitly when it's used solves this)
