Bug Description

Currently Ubuntu packaging branches are easily confused with upstream development branches especially for software developed in Launchpad such as software-centre. I would propose that branch pages such as https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center and https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/oneiric/software-center/oneiric should have some clarifying text added such as..

"This page is for a packaging branch for a programme in Ubuntu. Changes should be made here to Ubuntu packaging or for changes specific to Ubuntu's needs. Changes to the programme in general should be made on the upstream branch [link to upstream if known]."
