It's ok with me to keep it as bzr.  Maybe we should rename bazaar to
baz though?  Also the description currently says

Description: arch-based distributed revision control system
 GNU Arch is a revision control system with features that are ideal for projects
 characterised by widely distributed development, concurrent support of
 multiple releases, and substantial amounts of development on branches.
 It can be a replacement for CVS and corrects many mis-features of that system.
 .
 bazaar is an implementation of Arch in C, based on tla.  It focuses on making
 tla's UI more accessible, but also has smarter merging and gettext support.
 .
 Unless you have a pressing reason to use bazaar you should use some other
 revision control system as upstream development has ceased.
 .
 Homepage: http://bazaar.canonical.com/

and I'd rather we specifically pointed people at bzr.

Also that homepage just redirects to the bzr home page, which may
cause some confusion.  Maybe it should point to a landing page
explaining about baz and how to migrate?
