Comment (by exarkun):

 I wonder what's left to do on this.

 I naively believe that `pip install --no-index --find-links path-to-
 wheelhouse/` will install Tahoe-LAFS and all its dependencies from `path-
 to-wheelhouse` or fail to install if there are missing dependencies - and
 not hit the network.

 Just now I tried just this with my network disconnected and the
 installation completed successfully!

 This is no proof that it will succeed tomorrow, of course.  But maybe the
 desired behavior is provided now and what remains is to automatically
 verify it as part of continuous integration?
