That is not the only use for it. bzr is an inplementation of
Arch, and there are people who have not bought the 'Bazaar VCS Project'
koolaid, and still prefer Arch to the new VCS.

This would be a bug. While I understand you prefer the bzr VCS
over Arch, I see no justification for imposing your likes and dislikes
over users happily using baz as their version control system. I would
be most annoyed if baz would have been replaced by bzr on my systems if
the sysadmin dude did not notice the change.
A note in NEWS.Debian about your preferred VCS would be OK, I
suppose, but please come up with a bewtter upgrade plan for current
users of baz.
