Great. bzr-builder is easier.

Do you think it should still go in bzr with a "backport" inside
bzr-builder?

Well, dapper is still "supported" so 0.8.2.

Really though we're probably only going to have hardy and later,
meaning 1.3.1.

Previously bzr-builder used very simple APIs, so this wasn't really an
issue. If we keep running in to this we can review our deployment and
perhaps use a newer bzr as well as a newer bzr-builder (given that the
plugin isn't even in hardy).

Thanks,

James
