Thanks for this CC: I do not check papt ml very regularly.

You are very welcome. I'added mercurial in papt as I (the
initial packager) was not really still using mercurial so I do not give
enough attention to this package. My previous call for help on debian-devel
dis not lead to some real improvements after the packaging of the 1.0
version :-(. I'm very glad to see someone interesting in the packaging
of mercurial.
[lots of changes]
I will lot at them this WE (no free time at this moment)

You can use trunk...
Before uploading the 1.1 release, I would like to cleanup the default
conffile (no load of extensions by default as users cannot easily disable
them) as discussed with upstream a few month ago (a few weeks after the
lenny freeze)
For myself, I'm using git (with git-svn) to maintain mercurial with
branches for backport. If you want to take over (or even help with)
this package, I will send you all my works.

Vincent
