Bug Description

Theres no obvious way, and in fact there may be no supported way at all at the moment to debug the librarian with tests.

Specifically, if there is a test case that provokes a librarian bad behaviour (such as a 500), its very hard/impossible to do that with pdb in the librarian so that you can debug what is happening.

I'd like to fix, but I don't know an answer. I've done very painful pdbs in the past when I had to debug Twisted bits. Is there a standard Twisted approach to this?

Twisted.manhole is a common answer, but its not quite pdb. A partial fix for this is getting the librarian log file, which my lp:~lifeless/launchpad/librarian branch does.
