I did find a workaround for the time being:

 $ sudo mv /usr/bin/bzr /usr/bin/bzr.real
 $ sudo cat > /usr/bin/bzr
#!/bin/bash
umask 012
exec bzr "$@"
^D

That sets the umask properly; it just means sftp can't be used, it'd
seem.

There's a more proper way to do that on my system (using dpkg-divert or
something; I have to go hunting for that tomorrow, I can not keep my
eyes open).
