The principal difficulty here is actually with hosting and build farm
rather than anything else.

Under normal circumstances, we could seek sponsorship to include Bazaar
2.2 in Debian Backports, but because Debian is currently in freeze
preparing for the Squeeze release, we cannot get 2.2 into Debian testing
which is a prerequisite for getting it into Backports.

We could at this point ask for an update of Backports with the package
version currently in testing, which is 2.1.2, but as this is already an
obsolete release, there is little motivation to do so.

It would not be particularly hard for me to put amd64 and i386 lenny
packages on red-bean.com if there is actually sufficient interest. I am,
however, speaking only of bzr and maybe bzrtools, rather the full suite
of plugin packages provided in the Ubuntu PPA.

However, I'm a little reluctant to do so, when this would only be a
temporary workaround for the fact Debian is currently in freeze.

Max.
