Bug Description

HI,
the repice default text ATM is:

# bzr-builder format 0.3 deb-version {debupstream}-0~{revno}
lp:branch-name

But this means:
upstream version: {debupstream}
Debian package revision: 0~{revno}

As source tarball refers to {revno} source code, its version cannot be the same of stable releases.
The recipe default text should be:
{debupstream}+bzr{revno}-0 or {debupstream}~bzr{revno}-0
(depending on {debupstream})

Our approach to debversionioning has been a bit disorganized. I've created https://dev.launchpad.net/Code/RecipeBuildDebversioning to discuss the issue.

The suggested debversion string assumes that the branch being referenced is the upstream branch. That's not necessarily the case - it could also very well be the packaging branch.

Well, last time I checked recipes are usually made out of code branches and packaging sometimes gets nested or merged later. That's what all examples in the docs suggest and that convention seems to be followed (I've seen no exceptions to that so far). So it seems to make a sane default. More sane than the current one anyway.
