OK, so would a shared master branch be useful?  I thought there were
some Ubuntu specific things that would need to be tracked differently
(app armor?  Different library package names?) but I could be wrong - I
have to admit I don't know a lot about the Ubuntu development cycle.

I'm thinking that I'd like to start populating the repo fairly soon -
I've heard no objections to using git.  If we can hammer out a layout
we want, I can start setting it up.
