"lp:whatever" is not a valid name for a local file in makepkg(8). In
order to avoid confusion with Bazaar/Launchpad URIs, everything that
contains "lp:" is considered a remote file. You can check the makepkg
source code to convince yourself that it uses the same method for
distinguishing between local and remote files.
