DEB_VENDOR & package imports

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

Hello,

I am having fun times with package lp:debian/accountsservice

$ bzr cat lp:debian/accountsservice/.pc/applied-patches
Most recent Debian version: MISSING
0001-formats-locale-property.patch

0002-create-and-manage-groups-like-on-a-ubuntu-system.patch
0005-gdm_config_file_path_ubuntu.patch
0006-adduser_instead_of_useradd.patch
0007-add-lightdm-support.patch
0008-nopasswdlogin-group.patch
0009-language-tools.patch
0010-set-language.patch
0011-add-background-file-support.patch
0012-add-keyboard-layout-support.patch
0013-add-has-message-support.patch
1001-buildsystem.patch
2001-icon_reset.patch
3001-show_more_than_one_user_powerpc.patch

$ bzr cat lp:debian/accountsservice/debian/patches/series
Most recent Debian version: MISSING
0002-create-and-manage-groups-like-on-a-debian-system.patch

0005-gdm_config_file_path.patch
0006-adduser_instead_of_useradd.patch
0007-add-lightdm-support.patch
1001-buildsystem.patch
2001-icon_reset.patch
3001-show_more_than_one_user_powerpc.patch

It has both ./debian/patches/series & ./debian/patches/ubuntu.series

And upon package import it appears that ubuntu.series got applied when
importing into 'Debian' branch.

Furthermore ubuntu.series were not refreshed by the debian maintainer
upon last upload.

This results in a failure messages from $ bzr merge(-package) upon
trying to unapply patches.

I think, the lp:debian/* imports should be run with

   export DEB_VENDOR=Debian

This should make the lp:debian/package to match the source package as it
is unpacked/built on Debian.

But I'm not sure if this actually will make merging any easier.

Thoughts?
