Bug Description

Binary package hint: bzr

There’s code in /usr/bin/bzr to check that the version of bzrlib exactly matches the version of bzr:

if bzrlib.version_info[:3] != _script_version:
    sys.stderr.write("bzr: WARNING: bzrlib version doesn't match the bzr program.\n"
            "This may indicate an installation problem.\n"
            "bzrlib from %s is version %r\n"
            % (bzrlib.__path__, bzrlib.version_info))

But the bzr package only declares a lower-bound dependency on python-bzrlib (>= ${source:Version}), so it’s possible to have python-bzrlib 2.4.0~beta2-2ubuntu1 with bzr 2.3.1-1ubuntu1, triggering this warning. bzr should have an upper-bound dependency as well, like python-bzrlib.tests does.
