What I do in the apport retracers is:

 - create a temporary chroot, and reconstruct the situation of the
   packages when the crash occurred
 - copy the auth file into /tmp/auth
 - call "apport-retrace --auth /tmp/auth" in the chroot

Without being able to specify the location of the credentials file,
I'd need to predict the path where launchpadlib will look for the
file, and put it there.
