I work that way, but independent dputs are still a problem.  In a recent
computer-janitor case, the changelog entry for the dput didn't show up in the
source branch.  So I see 2.1.0-0ubuntu1 but no 2.1.0-0ubuntu2.  I had to merge
the actual change manually into the trunk branch, then bump the version to
2.1.0-0ubuntu3 with a note about why -0ubuntu2 is skipped.
