I used something else to produce an Installer.app package: there's a
setuptools module called bdist_mpkg (I had to patch it to get it work
under Leopard, but that patch got already accepted by upstream). It
generated an .mpkg structure that only holds bzrlib itself + the bzr
executable. I still need to find a way to include recommended
dependencies (like paramiko) - by either packaging them separately, or
bundling them with the Bazaar .mpkg.

If you think we could collaborate, don't hesitate to contact me (I'll
try to be online on #bzr during the weekend, so we can discuss things).
