Patch pilots, please hold off on this; I'd like to look at this in Debian.

Daniel, would you be offended if I did this separately in Debian and just made the results match up, but not necessarily the bzr history? (My Debian exuberant-ctags repository is still in Subversion, unfortunately ...)

Set version to '5.9~svn20110310' instead of 'Development'.

Yes, Colin, please do.

I hope you keep debian/changelog, but even without this my main intention is to get the bug fixes in. Please note the last three commits, which fix the version and add some more bug references.

Yes, I'll preserve those parts of the changelog which make sense, attributing you. I'm going to do some things somewhat differently, though; in particular, I've generated a new .orig.tar.gz using upstream's maintainer.mak ('make -f maintainer.mak releases/ctags-5.9~svn20110310.tar.gz'), which means that neither dh_autoreconf nor version.patch are needed.

Also, this is not a good form for changelog entries:

    This includes a lot of fixes since the last release.
    - Fixes LP: #554898, #582347

It's better to list actual changes alongside each bug, rather than "a lot of fixes" and bug numbers that you then have to look up. I'm going to rephrase this using upstream NEWS, commit messages, etc.
