I'm not sure what you mean by rolling this in a release of Lernid--I
think it already is. I assumed anything released under Ubuntu  would
naturally have a greater version than what we have in the upstream PPA
at the moment, and since their contents match that would be fine, and
customary, but eventually would involve a Ubuntu package download.

lp: lernid + lp:~jsjgruber/lernid/lernid.dh_python2 + dummy temporary
version-setting debian/changelog setting for ~lr2~oneiric1 ==
0.8.2.2~lr2~oneiric1 in the release ppa. (temporary meaning build-recipe
style).  I assumed when it was released into Ubuntu and the two bazaar
branches were merged we would have lp:lernid +
lp:~jsjgruber/lernid/lernid.dh_python2 + permanent version-setting
debian/changelog setting for 0.8.2.2-ubuntu1, and that, on release, our
students, if/when running oneiric, would get the Ubuntu repo version
containing the same code as the ppa has now in its Oneiric pocket.
(lp:lernid's current debian/changelog entry says 0.8.2.2, by the way,
and doesn't contain a "~" release number entry anywhere in its history).
Same thing if there were a backport to Natty.

If backported to Lucid and Maverick without a merge, I also assumed the
Ubuntu release would be 0.8.2.2 and that that would still override the
PPA version while matching their (different from Natty/Oneiric)
contents.

This is the first time I've done this, and it's very likely I have
messed up.  Please, please, set me straight. How should this be done
now, and what should I have done differently?

I'm certainly willing to release a 0.8.2.3 upstream to bazaar, or to
bazaar and the upstream PPA Oneiric pocket, if that would help--the only
reservation I have being about not merging a pycentral--dh-python2
branch into the upstream source until it can be built on all four
versions of Ubuntu we are supporting (L-O), not that I'm implacable on
that. How should a new release be different from what is there now? How
can I make this right (and easy for you)?

Thanks for your help, Daniel. I'm sorry I don't understand this better
than I do. It's both my inexperience as well as the (temporary, I hope)
merge consideration and resulting need for Ubuntu version divergence
that is complicating this for me.
