I didn't know anything about debian package but it's works (I'm proud :)

Followed steps:
1 - added source repository
2 - sudo apt-get source bzr

orig.tar.gz is not present for 0.90:
http://bazaar-vcs.org/releases/debs/feisty/bzr_0.90.orig.tar.gz  404 Not Found

so I manually copy bzr-0.90.tar.gz

3 - decompressed diff and tar.gz, applied the patch
4 - found and edited bzr.doc-base
5 - chmod +x  bzr-0.90/debian/rules
6 - mv bzr-0.90/debian .
7 - dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b
8 - dpkg -i bzr_0.90-1_i386.deb

Success!
