I wasn't talking about producing separate bzr-2.1 packages (though
that might be interesting), but rather having separate ppas.  The
~bzr/2.0 ppa would contain bzr=2.0.x plus plugins that work with it.

I think as a once-per-six months thing, before we overwrite the 2.1
packages currently in stable with 2.2 packages, we might as well copy
them to a new ~bzr/2.1 ppa.
