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.

Max Bowsher.
