Oooo....  now that is an hideous hack ;-)

(And thanks to Max for proposing the same thing.  I have to admit I
didn't think of it.)

This does raise a question though.  I am sure the answer is buried in
mail archives, but I am going to ask it again anyway.

Why has bzr-rebase been renamed bzr-rewrite but only for the Bazaar
branch not for the Ubuntu package.  As far as I can tell bzr-rewrite
provides no more or less than bzr-rebase, it is just bug fixed in
comparison.  All the help associated with the package only covers the
rebase activity.  So from a naïve bzr.dev / plugin branch branch
perspective there is one plugin that is being exposed via two packages
leading to name /version conflicts.

I am clearly missing something, but it is not clear what.
