I just requested it. Do you have any team guidelines for the branch
style? My current work only keeps the debian dir. The upstream source
is grabbed from the watch file with "bzr bd" From a quick browsing, it
seems like most packages have the full upstream source.

No problem, I already maintain a few packages in Debian and I'm happy
to have another.

I'll upload a complete source package ready for Debian on
debian.mentors once I push to bzr.debian.org
