[Python-apps-team] Bug#963253: mercurial-common: please install zsh completion where zsh finds it

[Daniel Shahaf]

Package: mercurial-common
Version: 5.4-2
Severity: wishlist
Control: affects -1 zsh-common

Dear Maintainer,

mercurial-common installs zsh completion to
/usr/share/doc/mercurial-common/examples/zsh_completion.gz.

Please install that file to /usr/share/zsh/vendor-completions/ instead,
named either "_mercurial" or "_hg", and not compressed.  This way zsh
will find it by default.

¹ The name "_mercurial" is what zsh's style guide recommends, but the
comment at the top of the file advises to name it "_hg".  It doesn't
make much difference one way or the other.)

That directory name is Debian specific.

Cheers,

Daniel
