Well...

Lets say you have project "fooix". Trunk may well be
  ~eric-the-viking/fooix/trunk

This is linked to the development focus series of fooix so the identity
becomes:

  lp:fooix

Now we could have an ubuntu packaging branch

   ~eric-the-viking/ubuntu/karmic/fooix/packaging

and a debian packaging branch

   ~eric-the-viking/debian/squeeze/fooix/packaging

What we are missing is the ability to show the package branches somewhere on
the project page. Now we probably don't want all of them, but "official" ones
may be of interest.
