Bug Description

http://launchpadlibrarian.net/51461781/buildlog.txt.gz says:

"bzr: ERROR: deb-version not fully expanded: {revno:packaging}+6785" and thus the build fails.

It wasn't clear to me that 'packaging' should refer to a 'branch id'. Maybe just "branch with name 'packaging' not found." would help.

I updated https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DailyBuilds/Recipes in that regard.

I'd like to be able to catch that kind of mistake at form validation time when a user is entering a recipe.
