srcdir is not the root of the checkout. top_srcdir is.
srcdir is "directory containing the sources associated with the Makefile
that expands it". In many cases it will be "." everywhere: in Makefile,
src/Makefile, etc. In another case it might be ../emacs in Makefile,
../../emacs/src in src/Makefile, etc.
$(top_srcdir)/.bzr is equivalent to what you have now, but AFAICS
there's no _need_ to change it, except maybe clarity.
