It's fairly easy to obtain a Debian package for Mercurial. In many cases,
the Debian package from unstable will install on testing or stable. And if
not, it's trivial to rebuild it. It's also quite easy to adapt the
existing Debian packaging for new releases, in cases where it's not
already been packaged.
Also, Mercurial itself has the `make deb` command, but I have not used
that.
What distribution are you using?
