We discussed this a bit yesterday. One option would be to add some
client side code that asks Launchpad what is the current published
version of a package, and then we can check whether the branch is up
to date without needing to change the package importer itself or
launchpad. This is perhaps also more likely to be accurate in the
case where the package importer is failing since it checks through
entirely independent means.
