debianlp: or deblp: sounds good to me. I still think the "d:" is a bad
idea for the reason mentioned earlier. At the very least we would have
to disable it in the bzr-builddeb we upload to Debian, but even so it
would still be bad to have Ubuntu in case e.g. an ubuntu member wants to
contribute a branch back to Debian.

FWIW I think the lp plugin would be slightly more appropriate, but
either would be a good home for these directories.

It lives in bzr-builddeb's directory.py.
