After some previous discussion of this topic, I threw together a
package as a prof of concept but I don't think I ever mentioned it on
list. It's up on Launchpad at:

https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~bzr-packagers/+junk/debian-meta

The way I approached it was to Depend on the plug-ins that are
installed with the Windows installer as well as Suggest a few other
packages. I also did a gui package that Depends on the meta package as
well as bzr-explorer (which will pull in qbzr).
