I can always branch the version of the package in any series, e.g. $ bzr branch ubuntu:utopic/python2.7 or if I want to get to the version of the package in proposed: $ bzr branch ubuntu:utopic-proposed/python2.7 with an alias for the most commonly requested version, i.e. the released version in the current development series: $ bzr branch ubuntu:python2.7 # gives me the utopic/python2.7 Of course, I can get the version in any other series. I can even get versions in Debian via: $ bzr branch debianlp:python2.7 or $ bzr branch debianlp:wheezy/python2.7 Obviously the details will be different with git and Debian, but I think it makes a lot of sense not to assume what 'master' might point to, but instead be explicit about the series name in the branch name. If it's possible to make a shorthand alias for the most common branch (unstable?) then that's fine too. Cheers, -Barry
