Such that all correct bug reports will be closed for example if there
were a few debian uploads, you do a merge with an ubuntu revision and
then upload to launchpad and debian maintainer closes LP:# bugs. I new
developer who was only been sponsored before might miss that....

Me too would like to see this done right ;-)

Because I maintain my packages both in debian & ubuntu and some
uploads that make it to ubuntu don't make to debian and vice-versa
(very rarely but do) so I will need granularity with respect to upload
series.

And you have corner case where last ubuntu version is higher than one
of the new merged debian revisions and has LP: # in it.

Including everything -v $FIRST_EVER_VERSION in bzr history won't do it
either because you will accidently close reopened bugs which were
"fixed" with Closes:# by a old upload where bug was still present.

So really we will have to do $ bzr missing lp:$distro/$series/$package
and use python-apt magic to hand-craft the changes file using changlog
entries from introduced entries.
