Not really. For dogfooding reasons I've myself switched to use the
packaged version rather than the mercurial checkout and I haven't
noticed anything missing or too annoying, even in light of long term
support.

Baking a release would be nice. It's not strictly needed, but it'd
indeed give users more confidence they're not building on top of a shaky
VCS snapshot.

Another nice to have would be documentation shipped with the package, to
allow for offline reading, which is something generally expected for
Debian packages. Right now I'm only shipping this README:

  
https://bitbucket.org/blais/beancount/src/ccc6dff1b7b4c29c48d41f666c0850ce2ce66bb7/docs/README?at=default&fileviewer=file-view-default

I understand it's probably too short time to properly bake the
documentation using the Google Docs -> rst pipeline, but maybe you'd
consider shipping a one-off rst export with the upcoming release? Again,
nothing blocking, just a nice to have if it's doable with little effort.

Cheers
