Yeah, that release won't help with this FTBFS (note that I did that upstream release).

I don't think that's an unreasonable situation for a package that's inherently related to bzr. :-) Even with a QA upload now, I doubt this package would have a long life in the archive unless somebody steps up to take over upstream maintenance.
