[Pkg-bazaar-maint] Bug#658141: bzr-git: installs bzr remote helper where my local copy of git can't find it

Package: bzr-git
Version: 0.6.7-1
Tags: patch

Hi,

When I try to use my copy of git like this:

	git clone bzr::lp:bash

I get the following result:

	Cloning into 'bash'...
	fatal: Unable to find remote helper for 'bzr'

The cause seems to be that git-remote-bzr is installed in a private
directory fo the git copy in /usr, so my private copy under $HOME
does not see it.

If I install bzr-git from the upstream source, the remote helper seems
to go on the $PATH instead, which works[*].

Thoughts?
Jonathan

[*] It is possible that git should provide some infrastructure with
its own PATH or PYTHONPATH-style variable for other packages to
register new commands instead of cluttering the main PATH.  Feel free
to contact git at vger.kernel.org about that, cc-ing me and Jon Seymour
<jon.seymour at gmail.com> or file a bug against the Debian git package.
