[Pkg-bazaar-maint] Bug#561647: follow python packaging guidelines

package: bzr

bzr is a python app and contains bzrlib which other python programs may
sensibly use.

Python libraries should have a binary package 'python-library_name'.

So bzr should have a binary package python-bzrlib, or perhaps simply
provide this.

As bzr has both arch independent and arch dependent components it should
probably be building a -all package with the pure python code and a -any
with the arch specific code - this would reduce the footprint in the
archive.
