Not only that, but there's no clear way to know what the right  
invocation of init-repo is.  If you look at the branch on Launchpad,  
you see something like

Branch metadata
Branch format:       Repository format:
Branch format 6      Packs containing knits without subtree support

Hookay... but it says nothing about what option I should give to init- 
repo.

Probably up at the top of the page, Launchpad should say:

Get this branch:
bzr branch lp:launchpadlib

Update this branch:
bzr push lp:launchpadlib

Create a shared repository:
bzr init-repo --pack-0.92  launchpadlib (or whatever)
