It is a duplication, and that's on purpose.  The purpose being to

I stand on the other side: the only reason I ever look at the ChangeLog
files is because "bzr log" is so damn slow.  But even with this
slowness, I usually use "bzr log" (or rather vc-print-log), because
I can then easily get the corresponding diff.
