As an aside, config-manager is ~ bzr-builder, but without the debian
aspects or the merge command.

Anyhow, I don't think its a good idea to limit bzr-builder to the
least-functional subset of its capabilities - if no nest rules are used,
why not permit e.g. recording the result, pushing to a branch, doing an
incremental build etc.
