It is absolutely valid to push intermediate commits to these branches.
The one thing to watch out for, is that if you do an upload, be sure to
push your branch immediately after (if not before). Once the importer
has decided that a particular Bazaar revision is associated with a
particular package version, it does not like having this mapping disturbed.

I asked poolie to do the necessary, but it ended up as a victim of
http://pad.lv/797088 - on the plus side, it ought to now get fixed when
that painful issue is resolved.

'bzr mark-uploaded', whilst sounding quite magical, is just an alias for
'bzr tag <version from debian/changelog>' - and in fact, 'bzr tag'
itself (with no version) will do the same (requires moderately recent
bzr and bzr-builddeb versions).

As a result of this just being a tag, "debcommit -r" will already do the
right thing.
