It looks like git support in launchpad is a work in progress.  I will
contact the launchpad devs to see what their time frame is for getting
full launchpad support up and running.  I don't want to loose the link
between bug reports and the repo version if I can help it.  I'll hold
off any final decision until I hear back from the launchpad devs.
