Unfortunately, that's not a problem we can solve. Those default
sources are frozen after the Ubuntu release, and the packages aren't
updated other than for security reasons, so a stable and tested
environment can be maintained.

We have no way of uploading new bzr packages to those repositories,
hence our use of PPA.

Our problem seems a bit like the minority, and I don't know many other
projects that have 1 month release cycles.
