They are in the eggs themselves.

AFAICT, buildout does not have a good story for these sorts of distutils scripts.

This is a way that I'd expect to run bzr:

{{{
import pkg_resources

bzr_distribution = pkg_resources.get_distribution(
    pkg_resources.Requirement.parse('bzr'))

bzr_distribution.run_script('bzr', globals().copy())
}}}

I have a branch that does this using the buildout template mechanism.  If someone wants to review this--John, minimally could you verify that this does what you need?--I'll land it.
