Partial answer:
I had a similar problem for geographic_info. While I strongly prefer to maintain support for both distributions in a single source tree, ROS does not make that easy.
In my case, the cleanest solution was to drop the direct dependency on bullet, and use the equivalent tf types instead. That may not work for you. It might help that C++ code can query the ROS version using pre-processor tests.

If the tf types do not meet your needs, it might help that for your C++ code can to query the ROS version using pre-processor tests.. Unfortunately, I know of no way to hide the bullet dependency differences in manifest.xml. As a tick-tock measure, maybe we should keep an empty bullet package around for Fuerte with just a rosdep for the system library.
