[Python-apps-team] Bug#750871: Bug 750871 - patch

[Max Bowsher]

The problem here is that some manual sed hackery munging the /usr/bin/hg 
shebang was removed in PAPT SVN r10748, with the justification that 
dh_python2 would take care of it automatically.

Unfortunately, it was not considered that the package currently 
circumvents large portions of dh_python2's multiple python version 
support by calling the upstream Makefile instead of setup.py.

Fortunately the solution is relatively simple:

* Drop package-local Makefile constructs handling multiple python versions

* Explicitly call the python_distutils debhelper buildsystem plugin

* Use override hooks to call only the upstream Makefile targets which 
handle non-distutils parts of the build.

Patch attached.

Regards,
Max Bowsher.
