The bzrtools package in the PPA appears to have broken dependencies:

$ apt-cache show bzrtools
Package: bzrtools
...
Version: 1.2.0-1~bazaar1~gutsy1
...
Depends: python-central (>= 0.5.8), python (>= 2.4), bzr (>=
1.1~bazaar1), bzr (<< 1.2~), patch

So both the existing bzrtools-1.1 package on my system and the new
bzrtools-1.2 package are incompatible with the bzr version 1.2.
