[Pkg-bazaar-maint] Bug#763116: includes copy of python-configobj

[Jelmer Vernooij]

Package: bzr
Version: 2.6.0+bzr6595-6
Severity: normal

Bazaar contains a copy of python-configobj. Earlier, we patched out this
copy of configobj and made bzr use the system python-configobj instead.

However, the last upload of python-configobj to unstable includes some
behaviour changes which break bzr. In particular, utf8 strings are no
longer automatically back and forth to unicode. This breaks the bzr
testsuite and any use of non-ascii characters in configuration files.

I've reverted the patch to make bzr build, but this means it now
ships its own copy of python-configobj (the copy provided by upstream).
The proper fix would be to make bzr support the newer python-configobj API.
