I have a question regarding the version numbering. I'd like to upload
this package to ubuntu, since we already have 0.16 there
(hrmpf). However, it shouldn't be numbered as 0.16, since we need to
indicate that this is not the one intended for debian. In order to be
able to sync from debian in ubuntu, we need to choose a version number
which is lower than 0.16.

If bzr was a non-native package, we could use 0.16-1 for debian, and
0.16-0ubuntu1 for the first ubuntu upload. There are AFAIK no real
guidelines how to handle it with native package.

Before I go ahead and upload something to ubuntu with a version number
of 0.16~ubuntu1 (which I don't think is particulary pretty), I'd like to
ask the pkg-bazaar team for input on this.  Is there any particular
reason why bzr-builddeb doesn't release an 'upstream' tarball, so that
we can use non-native version numbering?
