DeprecationWarnings

[Russel Winder]

James and Sabin have gently chastised me for not checking the bug
reports before emailing :-)  Point taken.

I pulled the bzr-dbus from
http://bzr.debian.org/pkg-bazaar/bzr-dbus/unstable  build the package
and installed it, and all the deprecation warnings go away, so it seems
like the bug has been acted on and completed.

Unfortunately, I can't do the same with bzr-email because of Bug 107169
which stops bzr 1.3.1 pulling the branch, and the fact that
http://bzr.debian.org refuses to talk to my bzr 1.5 installation :-(

bzr-dbus definitely, bzr-email I cannot test.

I think this is a very reasonable position.  People running non-release
can be expected to accept that they may see things designed to help
avoid problems in release software.
