Bug Description
Hi,
As we take UDD further we are going to want to do things like merge
from the upstream branches to the package branches.
The upstream branches will be mirrored on LP, but the product name
may differ from the package name. Instead of expecting everyone to
store the mapping in their head, or open a browser we should
provide some redirection that makes use of the links that LP has.
That is, something like
lp:ubuntu/lucid/+upstream/package
should get you the upstream branch.
Having a redirection that goes the other way may be a good idea too.
Thanks,
James

I think this is a good idea. Not sure about the URL though.
