So, if I understand correctly, the current situation is the following:

1. oFono patches have been fully merged.
2. Wim Taymans patches have not been merged yet (or at least not
completely)
3. Even if Wim's patches are merged, we (debian) will have to choose
between oFono or native at compile time.
4. Either patchset is not complete, in that one supports HSP and the other
HFP.
5. In practice, the above is not terribly important, because most
devices support both.
6. oFono requires manual configuration by the user.

With the above understanding, I'm thinking that we could work around
problem 3 by building pulseaudio twice and shipping the relevant
modules in separate conflicting packages. Not sure if that would be
too confusing for users.


I have had the same thought (shipping one pulseaudio-module-bluetooth and
one pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-ofono) for Ubuntu, maybe we can collaborate
on the packaging?

I'd be more than happy. It appears that the packages have diverged
quite a bit, so we need to work something out (but perhaps that is OT
for this list?).

Our current packaging is maintained in git[1]. We use the regular
git-buildpackage workflow. I'm not finding where the equivalent
repository is for Ubuntu (does one exist?).

The current repository is here:
https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-dev/pulseaudio/ubuntu

We're still on PulseAudio 4.0, because 5.0 did not contain enough interesting things IMO, but I plan to upgrade to 6.0 once it is released.

We currently keep our packaging in bzr, but perhaps we should do what is done 
for many other packages in Ubuntu, and keep our packaging in a branch in the 
Debian git repo. I believe David is a member of pkg-pulse, and I am also. We'd 
lose history, but that is a small price to pay for easy cherry-picking of 
patches between the distros. I'd be happy to help get this sorted.

From a quick googling, it looks like "bzr fast-export | git fast-import" should do the trick.

For my own part, I don't mind moving to git for the packaging. I'll have to learn the git-buildpackage workflow though.
