Yip, this is pretty similar to my mapping.  There's many ways of
mapping the model to Launchpad's model (including Riccardo's).  A
couple of differences:

 * A blueprint is only in the backlog if it is 'Accepted'.  That way I
can have other blueprints that are historical, community, or wishlist
that don't show in the backlog.
 * My todo ones are 'Assigned'.  You're right in they also need to
have a milestone, so perhaps I can drop the assigned part.

It's all good.  We should standardise though.
