I think that is the upstream application code.  It is not the package
sources.  The two are very different, and it is important to understand
the difference between them.

The application does not have a debian/* pakcgaing directory at all.  It
is not intended to :)

Confusing the source package with the upstream application sources, I think.

I am *definitely* no Unity expert, but maybe:

bzr branch lp:~ubuntu-desktop/unity/ubuntu

is what you were looking for?

You can safely commit it locally to your own bzr tree, of course.  But
as it stands, it won't do you much good.

You need to work on packaging, rather than on the upstream application,
unless you are an upstream application developer.
