I like this approach much better. One disadvantage here is that
launchpad requires a upstream product for each branch but there is no
mapping for every current source packages to a upstream products. So
some will have to be created first with the webgui in LP. Better
support from LP would be helpful here I think (either auto creating
upstream product or allowing bzr branches for source package names).
