Bug Description
At the moment if you run 'Add/Remove Programs' in Ubuntu Karmic and search for 'Bazaar' you get about four hits:
* Bazaar | Apply Bazaar Bundle | This package provides Olive, which aims to be a fully-featured graphical frontend for bzr, and adds the following commands to the bzr command line tool: gannotate, gbranch, gcheckout, gcommit, gconflicts, gdiff, gloom, gmissing, gpreferences, gpush, gstatus, visualise
* Olive Bazaar Branch Manager
* Bazaar Notification
* Diffuse Merge Tool
* Build Gnome Modules
So the first one appears mislabeled in several ways: is it all of bazaar or bzr-gtk, and is it just for applying bundles or more than that?
After installing the first you get the option to run "Bazaar" or "Bazaar Notification". If you doubleclick either of them, nothing happens - this might be because bzr is installed from source on my machine but it's still not great.
What should happen: one clear option to install Bazaar, and then that should start either bzr explorer (qbzr) or olive. It should be clear that this is going to give you Bazaar and it should give all the necessary plugins. After installation, you should be offered the option of running the Bazaar which will take you into a top-level gui like Explorer or Olive. (At this stage, recommending Explorer is probably better.) This program should also appear in the menus.

This has now been fixed - there is only a single hit for Bazaar, and there is a nice list of addons below it.
