It is a bit unclear whether this will be ongoing. We think we've sorted
out the key parts that were causing this. (fragmentation without
recombining.)
However, it will certainly still be a problem until Launchpad upgrades
to 2.0 (once it is released), as 1.17 and 1.18 will continue to fragment.

That would certainly be an option. Note, however, that 1.17 is
fragmenting during the mirroring operation, so it wouldn't help *today*.
(If you look at ~bzr-pqm/bzr/bzr.dev on the hosted side, it was a decent
50MB or so, but the mirrored side was around 100MB. After forcing a
'pack', it dropped down to more 30-40MB.)
