The versioned Breaks: and Replaces: cause problem when trying to install
our package over the one in Debian.

  $ sudo apt install ./packages/debian-buster/mercurial_5.2~rc0+15-buster-a2ff3aff81d2_amd64.deb

  Note, selecting 'mercurial' instead of './packages/debian-buster/mercurial_5.2~rc0+15-buster-a2ff3aff81d2_amd64.deb'
  Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
  requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
  distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
  or been moved out of Incoming.
  The following information may help to resolve the situation:

  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   mercurial : Breaks: mercurial-common (< 5.2~rc0+15-buster-a2ff3aff81d2) but 5.2~rc0-1 is to be installed
  E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Removing version information resolves the situation.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
