There seems a newer upstream release, 0.104.0, from April 2012
according to https://launchpad.net/bzr-gtk. Not sure if that would
help against the FTBFS -- at least the changelog doesn't seem to
mention something in that direction.

I already thought about that, too. From a QA point of view it's
probably the best.

Since the package bzr-gtk itself is maintained in bzr (according to
the still present Vcs-* headers), it would need someone who is
familiar with bzr to fix the outstanding issues even if they
themselves may not need bzr knowledge. (At least the fact that it's
maintained in bzr holds me back from having a closer look.)
