Bug Description

This package does not exist in 16.04. Trying to install it yields:

```
Package bzr-fastimport is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  python-fastimport

```

But the python-fastimport package doesn't appear relevant to Bazaar (and is missing both the fast-import and fast-export commands).

I know, and it's a bit of a shame. bzr-fastimport has returned in 16.10, but it is very unfortunate that it's not available at all in the LTS release. Maybe that makes it a good candidate for backporting. In any event, when I still have to do this kind of thing (thankfully, getting more rare by the day ;), I fire up a trusty or vivid chroot. I haven't had to convert any repos since switching to Yakkety on my main dev boxes, so I haven't tried the new version there.

The yakkety package works fine for me on xenial, but I would prefer if it was added to the backports repository.

This issue appears to have been corrected by Bionic. Does anyone have a plan to backport a package to Xenial?
