That is part of the issue with having Ian move all of the download links
away from the Download page.

Possibly we just need to upload a new entry to PyPi to indicate where
the files should be downloaded from. Our setup.py still lists:

META_INFO = {
    'name':         'bzr',
    'version':      bzrlib.__version__,
    'author':       'Canonical Ltd',
    'author_email': 'bazaar at lists.canonical.com',
    'url':          'http://www.bazaar-vcs.org/',
    'description':  'Friendly distributed version control system',
    'license':      'GNU GPL v2',
    'download_url': 'http://bazaar-vcs.org/Download',

^- So "easy_install" assumes that it can find a download link matching
the tarball name from "http://bazaar-vcs.org/Download". And obviously it
cannot anymore.
