OK, I gave this a shot in a simple case, a buildout you can find here:

  http://dev.vongogo.net/bzr/repos/buildouts/getpaid.buildout/

The develop option in getpaid.cfg seems to be ignored entirely, I
don't see any messages like "We have a develop egg", and it fails to
find a distribution for yoma.batching, which is in the develop list,
though it finds others which are available in PyPI.

If I'm working on another false assumption, or parsed something from
you or the documentation wrong, please correct.  I just want to be
able to deploy in this style. :)

Best,

J
