[Python-apps-team] Bug#512155: /usr/share/doc/mercurial is empty after upgrade (ok after fresh install)

[Steve Cotton]

Package: mercurial
Version: 1.1.2-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 12.5, 12.7

steve at tsunami:~$ ls -l /usr/share/doc/mercurial
total 0

Upgrading from 1.0.1-5.1 to 1.1.2-1 leaves an empty documentation directory.

Purging then installing 1.1.2-1 symlinks it to mercurial-common.

Repeatable by purging, installing 1.0.1-5.1 and upgrading.
