This thread is reminding me why we have an in-tree system bootstrapper tool (/python/mozboot) to effortlessly configure an optimal development environment. If running that does not install what you need, please file a Core :: Build Config bug and consider contributing a patch to make it do what you need.

The Mercurial download page:

offers 2.5.1 for Mac and Windows, but no Linux packages. Can guidance be
provided as to where to get such things for commonly-run versions of Linux?

Debian experimental has it.  My sources.list looks like this:

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ experimental main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ experimental main contrib non-free

and then it's `apt-get install mercurial/experimental`.  (There's a
priority system such that, by default, that won't upgrade packages to
experimental unless specifically requested or needed as dependencies.)
