The thing we fixed up back then was using bzr merge-upstream instead
of just bumping the version in debian/changelog.

But not tagging an upload would certainly screw up the branch as well.
Then again, the debian/ only branches are not really different, they
should also do changes with UNRELEASED and then use dch -r/debcommit -r
for uploading.

We could do that. I actually usually do bzr bd -S first, and only
debcommit -r once that was successful, but I can just ignore the
warning :)
