Debian maintainership, using Arch

Hi!

I decided to revert my decision of resigning as Debian maintainer (at
least temporarily). With the latest release, it was possible for me to
cut down Debian buglist to managable state.

However, there would be some things that would make my live
significantly easier:

I'd like to put my debian stuff into my Arch repo (see
http://yi.org/rotty/Software#gnuarch). I already branched off
Kristian's cvstrunk branch and fixed the RTP parsing bug
(zinf--rotty--patch-3).

It would be very helpful if we could have:

1) A --release--2.2 branch, for tagging releases (see
   http://regexps.srparish.net/tutorial-tla/symbolic-tags.html#Symbolic_Tags).
   I guess this is not really workable right now, since there is
   nothing to point 2.2.{0,1,2} (at least) to. Anyway, Kristian: is
   there a revision in --cvstrunk that "is" 2.2.5?

2) A branch for bugfixes. This would allow me to simply star-merge
   this branch into my (yet to be created) debian--2.2.5 branch. I
   will also only commit Debian-related bugfixes to my rotty branch,
   so there can be mutual star-merging to deal with Debian-related
   bugs.
   
To sum it up: it would be really nice to have bugfixes as clean Arch
changesets (see
http://regexps.srparish.net/tutorial-tla/exploring-changesets.html),
ideally including the Debian bug number they address in the log
message (see my log message for zinf--rotty--patch-3).

I don't know if this is really workable without having all developers
switching to Arch, however.
