Bug Description

bzr username is configured in email format, either as "Fullname <email>" or "email (Fullname)". But in order to configure bzr, lpsetup requires the fullname and email to be split. This provides inconsistency for users already comfortable with bzr and makes it harder to configure lpsetup automatically. For example: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~canonical-launchpad-branches/lp-dev-utils/trunk/view/114/cs-test#L5

One solution would be to allow -E to accept a bzr-formatted username, and require -f only if -E was a plain email address.
