Right.

I'm suspecting poor interaction with Bazaar and ‘bzr-svn’; I'll
troubleshoot some more and try to narrow it down.

The ‘Vcs-Foo’ field can point to a branch that is the Debian packaging
only, that's fine. I presume you're using ‘bzr-buildpackage’ or the
like, to merge the original source archive with the Debian packaging?
That just needs to be in a ‘get-orig-source’ target, to get the
upstream VCS version to an original source archive. Documenting the
use of ‘bzr-buildpackage’ (or whatever) in
‘debian/README.Debian-source’ would be good too.
