(David, could you change the “From” field in your messages to have
your full name and not just an email address? It would make your
messages harder for me to miss accidentally.)

Yes, certainly. So far there are three distinct packages, here is how
to get the packaging work for each of them::
$ mkdir --parents ~/Projects/inform6/
$ cd ~/Projects/inform6/
$ bzr branch --bind http://anonscm.debian.org/bzr/collab-maint/pkg-inform6/trunk/
$ mkdir ~/Projects/inform6/inform6-compiler/
$ cd ~/Projects/inform6/inform6-compiler/
$ bzr branch --bind http://anonscm.debian.org/bzr/collab-maint/pkg-inform6/inform6-compiler/trunk/
$ mkdir ~/Projects/inform6/inform6-library/
$ cd ~/Projects/inform6/inform6-library/
$ bzr branch --bind http://anonscm.debian.org/bzr/collab-maint/pkg-inform6/inform6-library/trunk/
Each of those branches — a ‘trunk’ branch for each distinct package
I'm working on – contains only the Debian overlay to the upstream
source files. A Debian source package is made by overlaying that onto
the upstream source extracted from the original tarball.

Fair warning: You might find less to use than you'd hope to.
I'll direct you to the ‘inform6/trunk/debian/README.source’ document
to understand some of the decisions made for the Debian packages.
