I think bzr, bzrtools, bzr-svn, and bzr-builddeb need to be uploaded to
Lauchpad PPA as a quartet, but then if they are not released all at the
same time by the same person there has to be a period of
"inconsistency". 

Now that 1.4-rc1 of bzr is uploaded, aptitude cannot see a consistent
upgrade path because bzrtools, bzr-svn, and bzr-builddeb are not
compatible with the new bzr.  This is fine as long as there is a
consistent set somewhere.

I wonder if more active use of backports would help here.  Launchpad PPA
can have the rcs etc. and if there is a full set of the last release (in
this case 1.3) in backports people can chop and change as needed --
currently backports doesn't have bzr 1.3, just the rc1.  However, I am
not sure what the upload policy is for backports.
