[ubuntu-dev] Bug#616477: ubuntu-dev-tools: requestsync requires python-launchpadlib >= 1.9

Hmm, that's surprising. I do most of my ubuntu-dev-tools development on
Debian, and was pretty sure that our launchpadlib 1.9 changes were still
compatible with 1.6.2.

I never checked 1.8, though, didn't realize it had hit unstable. (It has
serious issues, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpadlib/+bug/686690)
I guess I should team upload 1.9 ASAP.

You wouldn't get the "Allow until I disable it" option with 1.6, only
the old read-only/writable public/private options.

Testing now with 1.8 lanuchpadlib from unstable, I ran into #616483, and
could also confirm your issue
