/etc/bash_completion.d/mercurial and /etc/mercurial/hgrc were
conffiles of mercurial in 2.6.2-1 and are conffiles of
mercurial-common in 2.6.3-1.  mercurial depends on mercurial-common,
so is this really a bug?

Besides, I can't reproduce it on a clean sid chroot:

# apt-cache policy mercurial adequate
mercurial:
  Installed: 2.6.3-1
  Candidate: 2.6.3-1
  Version table:
 *** 2.6.3-1 0
        500 http://http.debian.net/debian/ sid/main i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
adequate:
  Installed: 0.7.1
  Candidate: 0.7.1
  Version table:
 *** 0.7.1 0
        500 http://http.debian.net/debian/ sid/main i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
# adequate mercurial 
# 

Cheers,
Javi
