Blame Canonical for giving their new RCS the same name as an existing incompatible one. Unfortunately renaming ports is fraught with pain because we don't have a Debian-style 'replaces' directive. I've made it clear in the description that this is baz, not bzr, in r41116.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The name "Bazaar" was originally used by a fork of the GNU arch client tla. This fork is now called Baz to distinguish it from the current Bazaar software
So maybe rename it to baz? At least once port renaming is not fraught with pain.
