Thanks for the suggestion Martin. I downloaded the source package from

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Method:
Added bzr PPA to sources.list and repository key to authentication.
$ apt-get source bzr
$ sudo pbuilder update --distribution hardy
[...]
$ sudo pbuilder build --distribution hardy
bzr_1.15-1~bazaar1~hardy1.dsc
[...]
