This wouldn't be of any particular benefit.

If an Ubuntu developer uses bzr to update their package, how would that
update transfer across to git?

Likewise if an Ubuntu developer used git, how would that update transfer
across to bzr?

How would you deal with issue where Ubuntu developers simultaneously use
bzr and git, and collide in mid-air?


As the other replier suggested, a more sane approach would be to allow
git access to the bzr archives.
