OK, thanks.

It is not, launchpad is merely an UI for managing those branches, and
loggerhead is free. However, I do see the potential political problems
here. So how about I store the branch on bzr.debian.org, and merely
have launchpad.net mirror the branch, so that we can still use
loggerhead for browsing, but use bzr.debian.org as the definitive
branch location?

I asked for this now:

  https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?func=detail&aid=311039&group_id=1&atid=200001

In the meantime I keep the bzr branches on my local disk, until I can
upload them to bzr.d.o.

I can't really say, I'm afraid.

Thanks,

Martin
