What I remember:
* No patches against upstream hg (notably nothing to comply with debian fs layout pedantry)
* No meaningful changelog
* I believe debian unbundles some vendored code, which we don’t bother to do
It should install just fine and have a sensible version number for all of your other debian things, but I can’t promise I got it right either. :)
