Here is documentation on using bzr *without* Launchpad specifically
for packaging:
http://jameswestby.net/bzr/builddeb/user_manual/
Note that none of the tutorial has launchpad in it.
There is one place where it offers you to merge upstream bzr branch +
with pristine-tar delta on top, but that is optional.
