Actually, you don't need any external programs to run bzr for 99% of the
operation. You need python and it is best to install some extra python
libraries (though bzr will work without them, it is quite a bit slower).

Baz (the fork of Gnu Arch) required external utilities like diffutils
and tar.

If you want the dependencies for bzr it is:

python >= 2.4

cElementTree (which brings with it ElementTree)
 ^- fast XML processing (comes with python 2.5)
    The official deb makes this a strict dependency

paramiko
 ^- support for sftp, this has a dependency on PyCrypto
    I think this is also a strict dependency in current versions.
    (Because everyone kept wondering how to get sftp support)

pycurl
 ^- faster http downloads using persistent connections. (0.13 should
    have persistent connections even without pycurl)
    This is listed as a Recommended (IIRC)

We also have this on the Wiki:
