It's not, however, very well published. There's sourcecode there, but
it's in no way ready to run straight out of the branch. You have to pore
over it, realize that the "schemaconfig" thing is still closed source,
find the alternative manage.py elsewhere in the tree, compose your own
configuration from scratch, find that the metapackage which is the ISD
equivalent to launchpad-developer-dependencies is also closed source, ....

I've yet to make it run.
