A Bazaar branch seems like a poor way to manage the sourcedeps, because
each new version takes up the same amount of space, and that space is
taken up permanently in the history (modulo ghosts).

If we want to maintain a full history of every version, we could ungzip
the tarfiles and maintain file-ids as we replace versions.  That would
allow Bazaar's delta compression to work.  It would also mean that every
launchpad branch would be associated with a particular revision of the
sourcedeps branch.

But I don't know if having a fully versioned history is actually needed.
 If it's not, couldn't we just have a directory on devpad that we rsync,
which has all the latest versions required by last db deploy, db stable,
and stable (okay, db devel and devel too)?
