mercurial: Fixing quilt dependency



Hi Vincent (and others),

Regarding your change to the mercurial packaging:

+mercurial (1.3.1-2) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
+
+  * adjust quilt dependency so that it works with backports
+    (ie quilt >> 0.46-6 instead of quilt >= 0.46-7)
+
+ -- Vincent Danjean <vdanjean@debian.org>  Tue, 18 Aug 2009 12:44:51 +0200

It is better to use quilt (>= 0.46-7~) for this sort of thing - quilt
(>> 0.46-6) is too loose.

Using the ~-suffixed form will allow backports, whilst avoiding being
satisfied by versions looking like 0.46-6rebuild1, which would be wrong.
It more clearly communicates the actual important version too.


Max.
