Got you, makes sense.

But...  If I do have both .svn and .bzr, how do I choose which 'bzr' 
will use?  (I *am* going to have that situation at $WORK soon, though 
that'll be on Windows (yuck).)

Duh, I never even thought of that.  'aptitude update && aptitude 
full-upgrade' have me spoiled and I don't think of terms of new versions 
much anymore.  New versions Just Happen now and then...

That said, http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com/DistroDownloads#Debian still 
talks about Lenny (Squeeze is current & Wheezy is in testing), and has 
at least this broken link: http://backports.org/debian/pool/main/b/bzr.

I do not see any BZR in 
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=bzr&searchon=names&section=all&suite=squeeze-backports 
and as noted Squeeze is at 2.1.2 
(http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=bzr)...

Is there a good, .deb solution for Squeeze.  It's not jumping out at me...

Related, 
http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com/DistroDownloads#Ubuntu_and_derivatives 
claims "stable (2.3.x)"...

Thanks,
JP

software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
