I strongly feel that we need to keep dput around for a long while. While we are using bzr very extensively now, there are legitimate cases where it's just impractical to do. In particular this affects packages which are co-maintained in git together with Debian (LibreOffice, udisks, upower, etc.), cases where our package is a git branch of upstream (linux), or autogenerated packages which aren't suitable for revision control at all (language packs, ubuntu-meta). It would be an utter waste of bandwidth, storage space, CPU power, and most of all human patience to import these into bzr for the sole reason of uploading them.
