You can do --export-upstream once. (If you are not using 2.0 then
you will have to move the orig.tar.gz from ../build-area/ ../tarballs)

There are difficulties if the project requires more than a "bzr export."
If you want to include the version_info.py file then you will have to
generate the tarball by hand.

Thanks,

James
