You could certainly do this all in one expression:
{{ lookup('file', lookup('pipe', 'hg root') +
'../source/deploy/ansible/id_rsa.pub') }}
Or if you could find the pub key file relative to the location of the
playbook instead, use the playbook_dir magic variable (
http://docs.ansible.com/playbooks_variables.html) to resolve the path.
