bzr-builddeb is perfectly well usable without Launchpad; it doesn't
depend on it. I've been using it with bzr.debian.org for a long time.
There are two commands that have some Launchpad-specific integration,
but that integration is completely optional and those commands are still
perfectly usable without Launchpad. There is also no hard dependency on
python-launchpadlib.
