Can you please run "ls /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/" and "debsums -c
mercurial mercurial-common" (you may need to install the debsums package)?

Can you try to reinstall the package with "aptitude install --reinstall
mercurial mercurial-common"? It should say "Processing triggers for
python-support ..." as part of the output.

I've just installed mercurial in a fresh squeeze install and it works
for me.
