Bug Description
The setup.py magic to do -next-91 as a version works well when you have a checkout. Sadly it doesn't work well when you make a tarball and then want to use the tarball else where:
./setup.py sdist (makes testtools-
put next-91 in lp's versions.cfg
bootstrap then extracts this and runs setup again, which goes boom - no bzrlib, no working tree.
We should save the version in the manifest or something, for this use case.

I don't understand why this use case matters. I don't understand what this has to do with Launchpad.
