MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for bzr-gtk [2]:

Broken Gtk frontend for Bazaar (bzr), the Python 2 based
VCS client, discontinued by Canonical in 2017.

This package doesn't work because it's incompatible with
bzr's continuation fork, breezy, carried by Arch repos.

Therefore I suggest to delete it, as it's not useful to keep.
And the Python 2 based and deprecated bzr should not be used because
if it works at all, it cannot be considered secure (Python 2 itself is
EOL since 2020 and is not patched even for security vulnerabilities).

There are alternative graphical frontends for Breezy, like zim,
carried by Arch repos.
