[RFC] Taking source package branches to the next release

[Jonathan Lange]

Hello,

James Westby & I just hashed out a brief specification for handling
source package branches when releasing Ubuntu. That is, making sure
that all of the branches available in karmic are immediately available
in karmic+1 as soon as it is opened.

The spec is here:  https://dev.launchpad.net/BranchingUbuntu

And we have already made some tweaks to
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewReleaseCycleProcess.

I'd greatly appreciate your feedback, either here, or on the
BranchingUbuntu wiki page.
