This branch has already bitrotted a couple of times so I wanted to
actually get these changes in rather than letting it bitrot for a couple
of months more until we have Lucid.

We're almost certainly going to rely even more on python-debian in the
future, e.g. for parsing dsc files, other rfc822-like files, changelog
files and the removals file. Given we're always running Launchpad on a
LTS release and the next version of python-debian already has a couple
of fixes that might be useful to cherrypick it seemed reasonable to just
do all of the setup now.

I was originally going to put it in sourcedeps.conf, but was eventually
recommended to put the changes into the PPA instead. It seemed like a
good idea to use PQM here, similar to most of the other branches we use
for our dependencies in sourcedeps.conf. I'll update the wiki, thanks.

Cheers,
