Merge request e-mails for packaging branches don't indicate package in headers

[Ted Gould]

If I make a branch:

 lp:~ted/ubuntu/precise/linux/myfix

And propose it to be merged into the main branch. When I get e-mails about the merge proposal they don't contain the "X-launchpad-project" message header.

I think that it should either have "ubuntu" or "linux" as the project (I'd be nice to have the project be linux and another tag be "ubuntu") But, more importantly, one of them should be pulled out into an easily parsable tag.

Project is a specific term, referring to upstream software development projects. The branch you specify isn't a project branch, it is a source package branch. Would an X-Launchpad-Source-Package header be acceptable?

Yup, that'd work. It seems that there should also be a
X-Launchpad-Distro-Name and Distro-Release as well. So it could be
Debian Sarge or Ubuntu Precise.
