Running '# aptitude  -t sid install qct' upgraded
    mercurial 1.8.3-1        --> mercurial_1.9.1-2 amd64
    mercurial-common 1.8.3-1 --> mercurial-common_1.9.1-2 all
    qct 1.7-2                --> qct_1.7-3 all
without problems, but didn't reinstate /etc/mercurial/hgrc.d/qct.rc.
After backing out the deletion from the repo, mercurial still works without 
errors, so yes, problem solved.

I didn't intend to give misleading information. I only mentioned etckeeper, 
because for me it was the sign that something in the preceding update broke 
mercurial.
