Public bug reported:

I've done merges with grab-merge for previous cycle and I tried to make
a merge following this guide:

http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/udd-merging.html

IMHO it's too brief in bzr commands since the user of that page may be
newcomers starting learning packaging through Merges and Syncs.

Info I missed in this page:
 * How to login with bzr
 * How to grab the Ubuntu package sources
 * A better explanation of commands "status" "diff" "resolve" "conflicts"

I found the old guide and the infos you get with grab-merge much more
communicative. I didn't answer myself about how to see differences
between debian-base and ubuntu-base. Also the infos about how to request
a sponsoring should be improved, I hadn't complete the process so I
can't help about what's missing right now.

Thanks in advance
