Bug Description
Binary package hint: bzr
There is a nasty bug in the current bzr package 2.1.1-1 in Lucid, when trying to pull, checkout, etc. branches from older bzr smart servers, which makes 'bzr' nearly useless for me.

Your adjusted patch drops the test for the bug and NEWS entries. Not a huge deal but it might be better to keep the divergence minimal.
Alternatively it might be simpler and better to package the current lp:bzr/2.1 branch. The final 2.1.2 is likely to be very close the current state of that branch, and it has other valuable fixes (e.g. #559436 and #556940) apart from just this one.
