Once the upload is accepted by the archive, we run debcommit -r. This commits the aforementioned change and creates a tag.

=) sounds like proper English =) i like it.

If this is the case, I'm confused by the presence of both 0.2.23 and 0.2.23ubuntu1 sections in the changelog.
Merge errors (bzr is too smart, i needed the good old
"bang-it-together-until-it-sticks-merge" with loads of conflicts
instead of "intelegently" merging in both changelog entries) =) Will
hunt it down.

yes, still hopefully releasing from trunk to Debian.
