Somebody needs to analyse the diff between the packages in bzr's PPA and the packages in Karmic. We strongly prefer to backport from the Ubuntu development branch where possible, not from a PPA.

The process is as follows:

 * if the package in Karmic will build and work without changes (other than debian/changelog) in the target release, then we can backport that semi-automatically;
 * otherwise, a patch should be provided, preferably relative to the package in Karmic.

A proponent of this backport needs to provide a concise list in this form of what should be done for each bzr-related package.
