Etienne, your name also occurs in the baz package so can you take care
of that too - maybe talk about the transition with an ubuntu core dev?

While we're fixing it the baz description could be updated; it
currently talks a lot about GNU Arch which would be confusing even
without bzr.

Something like this might be better:

  Baz fork of GNU Arch

  Baz is a distributed revision control system.

  Baz is replaced by Bazaar (package bzr).  Existing repositories can be
  converted using the bzr-bazimport command from bzrtools.
