The only reasons I know of are:

1- There may be some hardcore users, who wish to keep using baz even
though it is orphaned by upstream.  (Robert pointed (indirectly) to http
://lists-archives.org/debian-devel/124715-bug-433143-itp-bzr-rebase-
rebase-plugin-for-bazaar.html)

2- baz is needed to upgrade old archives to bzr using bzrtools, and very
likely to upgrade them using other tools like tailor.  So even if no one
is still using baz, there may be people who will someday need it to
retrieve historical data.

I'm happy to leave it up to the people doing the work whether these are
a strong enough reason to keep baz around in a package named "baz".  It
has seemed to me like Debian has tended to package everything that might
be useful to somewhere that's technically and legally possible.
