I'm not actually sure what you're asking.  You would like to have a
bunch of Bazaar branches on Launchpad that mirror Mercurial branches?
That would be nice, but isn't possible yet.  There is a bzr-hg plugin
that allows Bazaar to pull from Mercurial branches, but (a) I don't
think it's especially complete and (b) it's something you'd have to set
up yourselves.  But that shouldn't be too hard, a few shell scripts
running out of cron should be able to do that...
