Looks awesome, Charlie.  I'll definitely be giving this a shot today :)

My strategy was to fork `lp:ubuntu/postgis`, edit the contents of the debian subdirectory to make it compatible with 2.0-dev and then publish the edited fork to Launchpad under my `+junk` section. After this was done, I set up a `bzr-builder` recipe that fuses `lp:postigs`, which tracks the upstream PostGIS repo, with the debian subdirectory contained in `lp:~sharpie/+junk/postgis`, which contains my edited packaging info, to create a nightly build:
