Thanks for the tip. I'll have to add that to my collection of wrapper 
scripts that wrap dpkg, apt-file, and other tools for implementing 
package queries that are beyond aptitude and easy to forget.

# apt-cache policy bzr
bzr:

(I ended up installing from the Ubuntu repository. The Intrepid build 
seemed to match up with Lenny's installed version of Python.)
