Thanks for packaging so many useful things for Bazaar.

However, please re-work the synopsis for this (and any other packages)
so that it is an appositiv clause, as described in
<URL:http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-best-pkging-practices#s-bpp-pkg-synopsis>.

The general test is to see if the synopsis makes sense when it
populates the hypothetical sentence template:

    <packagename> is {the,a,an} <synopsis>

For example this package's synopsis would be better as:

    search plugin for Bazaar
