Ok, I do this. But that would only help me to avoid future corruption.

Well python 2.7 (I am on Ubuntu 16.04 and the python 3 version provided is
not supported by mercurial. This is one of the reasons I have to upgrade
Ubuntu, and most likely I will do in August, right now I cannot afford
any problems)

In contrib/packing/debian/rules

# export HGPYTHON3=1
export PYTHON=python
