One thing that we strive hard for in Ubuntu is /shipping with good defaults/. The intent is not to take away the freedom to customise from hardcore users prepared to read a man page, but to give the best, default, first-time impression to new and intermediate users.
For the sake of the first-time users, intermediate users, even potential git convertees... it would be useful to ship bzr with the pager enabled by default.
This to me is a no-brainer, gives a good impresison, fixes it for the silent majority and shifts the customisation step on to the power-user, rather than the novice.
