So: Alexander, Peter, Jesse and I all see that there is a problem here.
In general, installing a package on ubuntu leaves that package in a
working state. It should not be necessary to perform manual steps after
installation to make things work, _unless_ those steps are clearly
indicated in the output of the installation process.

If a user _already_ _knows_ that there is a necessary post-installation
step that must be taken to make the package work, and what that step is,
then that user will not have a problem. Otherwise, that user will have a
problem. There are four examples of such users that have taken the time
to comment on this bug!

Closing a bug with “I know how to do something non-obvious and, if you
don't, that's your problem” isn't progress.

According to https://github.com/schacon/hg-git/issues/204 “… the Debian
maintainer is doing it wrong. The package should ONLY be installed as
hggit, not as hgext.git.”

On that basis, in what way is this bug invalid? It seems to get more
valid each time I look at it!
