Binary package hint: bzr-fastimport
I am playing with "git-bzr-ng" plugin which allows me to use git with bzr repositories. But this requires working bzr-fastimport plugin. So I installed package from natty but still got
bzr: ERROR: unknown command "fast-export"
message. Folks at #bzr channel pointed me to "bzr plugins" command which did not listed fastimport at all. I checked my system and other bzr plugins are present in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bzrlib/plugins/ directory when fastimport one is in /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/bzrlib/plugins/ one which is not checked by bzr.
It was working when I tried it some time ago so maybe switch to python-support was issue.

Yes, this definitely looks like an incompatibility between the bzrlib plugins loader code and Python namespace packages spread over different directory trees.
Maybe we should do a SRU switching bzr-fastimport back to python-central for natty? It is the only packaged bzr plugin that is using python-support.
