I've just had another thought that this may not be quite enough - we
look likely to have some Ubuntu branches in there as well, and while
it's unlikely to have overlapping names, it seems easy enough to make
sure we can't by using:

master          
debian/unstable
debian/$release
debian/$release-volatile
pristine-tar
ubuntu/trunk (???)
ubuntu/hardy
ubunut/hardy-backports

etc.  Does that seem reasonable?  Am I forgetting something that should
probably go in?  I suspect that with the above layout, 'master' will
basically just track the upstream release, and we'll do development of
the debian/ directory in the debian/unstable branch for Debian and
ubuntu/trunk for Ubuntu.  This has the advantage that when Debian makes
a set of changes in unstable (pulls new upstream release, fixes a few
bugs in maintainer scripts, etc) Ubuntu can just merge, and vice versa.

Cheers,
