I disabled that in mercurial in Debian. It caused a rather nasty bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=620087
first noticed in Ubuntu:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mercurial/+bug/745250
The way we handle multiple python versions in Debian allows for .so and
.py files to differ between python versions (although .py files
differing is ugly and should be avoided). However, we cannot deal with
differences like that in scripts in /usr/bin. There's only one of those,
shared between all the python versions, so if you put things in it that
depend on a particular python version, things get ugly.
