[Pkg-bazaar-maint] Bug#529816: default to merge-mode if only 'debian' directory exists?

[Jelmer Vernooij]

Package: bzr-builddeb
Severity: wishlist

It would be neat if bzr-builddeb could automatically use 'merge' mode if
only a debian/ directory existed in the branch. I can't think of any
situation where this would not DTRT.
