Title:
  bzr-lpreview-body from launchpad ppa blocks python 2.6 install on
  natty by using site-packages

Status in Bazaar plugin to provide review message bodies:
  Fix Released
Status in “bzr” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I installed natty on a new partition, then installed bzr from bzr
  daily ppa.  Then I tried to setup Launchpad development, which needs
  python 2.6.  Python 2.6 fails to install because bzr has put files in
  site-packages.  I had to uninstall bzr, install python 2.6, then
  install bzr again to get past this.

  When it failed to install python2.6-minimal, apt suggested that bzr
  should stick its files in dist-packages instead of site-packages,
  which presumably would have allowed the python 2.6 install on natty to
  continue fine.
