I'm still having trouble with your branch. E.g. it does not seem to
contain any tags. This means things like 'bzr import-dsc' doesn't work:

>> bzr import-dsc ../screen-profiles_1.42-0ubuntu1.dsc
bzr: ERROR: No such tag: upstream-1.42
zsh: exit 3     bzr import-dsc ../screen-profiles_1.42-0ubuntu1.dsc


I've tried that because it seems that the current package in jaunty does
not seem to have been built from a bzr revision.


furthermore, the get-orig-source rule seems to be broken as well. I've
tried to build the package with 'bzr builddeb':

>> bzr bd

Could you please assist me here a bit? Tags would be extremly helpful to
identify uploads to ubuntu and would let us compare ubuntu to debian
packages (which is the point of the exercise, AFAIUI).
