As a first step, I'd fix 'bzr help plugins/builddeb' to contain your
HOWTO, list of commands and other such things.

That is, put stuff in your package docstring.

Could merge upstream have version number guessing?

I wonder if an import-* name makes more sense, as you can certainly
import-and-not-merge but you can't merge-without-importing.
