Bug Description

Binary package hint: mercurial

Interesting, package doesn't build correctly. That's probably between 1.1.2 and 1.2.1 debian/rules was rewritten. Attached patch adds --install-layout=deb to setup.py install call which fixes this issue.

+ Mercurial isn't built correctly with Python 2.6
