Hi Jesse,

These repos don't all deliver the same things :

~sunab/kdenlive-svn is the original master branch builds, (semi?) automated by 
Olivier
At some point he stopped to update it, as we wrongly understood the users could 
switch to kubuntu-ci.
But he came back and his system goes on...

~kubuntu-ci/* provides updates not only for kdenlive, but also to KF5 libs and 
many other KDE apps.
The problem is that is changes too many things for users interested only in 
Kdenlive updates.
Furthermore they can't follow important bugfixes in MLT / Frei0r as fast as we 
do.

~vpinon/kdenlive-testing follows the Applications/XX.XX branch (beta then 
release then rolling bugfix)
I did setup this to allow beta or bugfix testing, separate from master (was 
significantly different around 15.08)
(and because Olivier was busy at the time we realized KubuntuCI was not the 
right answer)
(and because I was interested in learning packaging! tweaking dependencies 
helped me to solve some problems)

~kdenlive/kdenlive-master follows the master branch, to access all the fresh 
new things
This one is built automatically, not on every commit, but when we judge the 
code is not too broken we just "git push" to the launchpad clone and it starts 
to compile.
This is the setup we would like to keep also for testing (beta) and stable 
(releases X.Y.Z where Z>0), and as it is owned by a team we can collaborate on 
it.
But I've put this effort on hold, as lauchpad's git import was really new, and 
I failed to setup branches, not knowing if it was my fault or from the 
backend...

In conclusion :
~kdenlive/kdenlive-master answers (1) (unified team effort) and (2) (automatic 
build -- not for dependencies),
but it does not yet offer all flavors, need to check if branches issue can be 
solved with some help.
