Let's hope nobody will ever modify more than one file/package in a
commit. Or your strategy will begin to be much more complicated. :)

I do not disagree, this is actually kind of how the Linux kernel is
handled if you look at it that way.
But since there's only 2 branches (stable/dev) I'm just not sure it's
the best approach here:
- merging parts of -dev branch into a -stable branch is complicated
- tagging a branch when it's ready to be publish with so many packages
is impossible since developement is happening there on multiple
packages at the same time
At least, the solution to have a set of tags named "{$package}-ready"
which would move on commits will assure that each package is put into
ELPA at the right stage. You can even rollback by moving the tag.
(I'm just not sure bzr can handle that correctly, and that the bzr users
would not make mistakes)
