Problems import Debian source into bzr

I wrote a little script to build bzr branches for Debian source
packages, and to import all the versions available on my mirror into the
corresponding branch. This went well, but a few packages caused problems
with bzr. I've attached the script and the log files of the 88
problematic cases.

Most of the problems seem to be because of UnicodeDecodeError,
BzrCheckError (internal check failed), or AttributeError.

The test was done with bzr 0.11.0 as packaged for Debian. The machine is
running etch (testing), but had bzr (0.11-1) and python-celementtree
installed from unstable.

The run took about three full days, on an machine with a 2 GHz AMD64 cpu
(in 64-bit mode), 1 GB of RAM, and two 80 gigabyte hard disks in
striping mode. It would've gone faster, but I ran out of disk space a
couple of times, and it took me hours to wake up and notice. 

Disk space usage is now about 90 gigabytes, but that's with most
branches' working files removed, to save disk space (i.e., only the .bzr
directory and contents in most branches).

If you want to me test fixes, I'd be happy to run all or part of this
test on a new bzr version.
