No one complained about this in the past, I think, otherwise it would
have been in INSTALL.BZR. However, the issue seems to be more related
to bzr installation on GNU/Linux or maybe to the various maintainers
of the bzr packages on GNU/Linux, than to Emacs: the Bazaar download
page (http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com/DistroDownloads) doesn't tell
the requirements wrt Python and the Installation FAQ
(http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com/InstallationFaq) says only this:
"Python >= 2.4". Perhaps it would make sense to report this on the
Bazaar mailing list (bazaar@lists.canonical.com).
Any other issues that make the curve steep?

Maybe I misunderstood, but I thought something like "autoreconf -I m4"
was needed to build successfully after synchronizing with the
repository, if my last synchronization was before the import from
gnulib. If that's not true, are you saying that just "./configure"
should be enough?
