[Pkg-bazaar-maint] Bug#568937: missing dependency on python-launchpadlib

Package: bzr
Version: 2.1.0~rc2-1
Severity: normal

As of 2.1 the bzr launchpad plugin requires the python-launchpadlib
package to function. This dependency is missing at the moment.

Since launchpadlib and its dependencies are quite large, I think we
shouldn't make them a hard dependency of the core bzr package. 

The two alternatives I see are:

 * add Recommends: python-launchpadlib for the bzr package
 * add a separate bzr-launchpad binary package that contains the
   launchpad plugin and that is Recommends: by the bzr package

Preferences, thoughts ?
