Comment 7 for bug 219489

Actually, using the --prefix option instead of the --home option solves the issue. From the help of setuptools I got this:

Options for 'install' command:
  --prefix installation prefix
  --home (Unix only) home directory to install under

So apparently indeed there is a subtle difference, even though I don't see what it is. But that's something for the setuptools-people to answer. My personal feeling though is that the installation instructions in the 'INSTALL' file that comes with bzr, should be changed and it should say to use --prefix instead of --home?
