Yes, as far as I know. It is only optional, but bzr is a lot more useful
with it obviously.
Backporting paramiko isn't that easy, there is a long chain of
dependencies that need to be backported or upgraded. I have some
packages at
http://jameswestby.net/debian/bzr-backport/
that could be used as a starting point.
However the list of packages is long, and do you want to risk providing
packages that cause headaches when the users come to upgrade? I am not
sure that they will, but it is a consideration.
Thanks,
James
