You're saying I should have done a lot of packaging work and waited for
the result to go through the NEW queue, and blocked all updates to git
in the meantime?  I have to say I disagree, and I don't think that is
a more friendly approach.

Keep in mind that by request of the git-remote-bzr maintainer,
git-remote-bzr was removed from contrib/ in the upstream git package.
The code is not there in v2.0.0-rc4.  What should the git-bzr package
contain now?

I continue to believe stable and testing have a purpose different from
unstable.  If you're saying that you'd like to block this version of
git from graduating to testing until someone steps up to package
git-remote-bzr, I won't stop you from filing an RC bug to block it.

Okay.  Alas, there's no easy answer for software that people use but
no one wants to maintain.

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
