Upstream, Robert Collins, actually request that bazaar depend on bzr so that anyone inadvertedly 'apt-get'ing that bazaar had the newer version.
Rather than remove -- even thought the package is buggy and unmaintained -- I think a better way forward would be to add a depends: bzr for the next Debian release and then in future releases have bzr, Provide: bazaar as a virtual package. Robert, care to make it so?
