FYI, I've settled with this for my bzr PKGBUILDs [1]. Only problem is,
this works well when first installing the package (even the pkgver bump)
and the repo has not been pulled yet, but it fails at any subsequent
attempt, throwing this:

==> Making package: pantheon-notify-bzr 24-1 (Thu Apr  4 14:30:31 CEST 2013)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...
==> Checking buildtime dependencies...
==> Retrieving sources...
==> ERROR: /home/alucryd/Downloads/pantheon-notify is not a branch of https://code.launchpad.net/~tombeckmann/pantheon-notify/trunk
    Aborting...

Makepkg uses 'bzr config parent_location' to determine the upstream url,
which, in this case is
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~tombeckmann/pantheon-notify/trunk/ and not
the url in my source array. I'm not sure this qualifies as a bug, but
you have to make sure the upstream url is the one reported by that
command. I have prepared a small patch for makepkg to print the correct
url, I'll open a bug later today and see if the patch can be merged.
