'bzr info bzr+ssh://' always gives unnamed, but if you do:
  bzr info nosmart+lp:...
or
  bzr info sftp://bazaar.launchpad.net/...

You should get more info. I get:
$ bzr info nosmart+lp:~scons-qt/
 Standalone branch (format: 2a)
 Location:
   branch root:
nosmart+bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~scons-qt4/sconsaddons/qt4/

Hardy has bzr 1.3. Which doesn't understand formats 1.6 (stacking) or
1.9 (stacking + btree) or 2a.

The bzr ppa does have a backport of 2.1.1 for hardy:
 https://edge.launchpad.net/~bzr/+archive/ppa

I've searched around a bit and found stuff like:

http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-backports@lists.ubuntu.com/msg13824.html

Where they are talking about getting the bzr 2.0 series into the
official hardy-backports repository. I don't really know where that
ended up. Martin may have a better idea, as he's done most of the
SRU/backporting work.
