Title:
  bzr needs upper version bound on python-bzrlib dependency

Status in “bzr” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in “bzr” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

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.
