If you didn't noticed it is me who marked bug #666292 as a duplicate, so
I obviously have SEEN it. ;)

If you feel that it contains some essential stuff that I've missed, then
a quote that you find relevant and a link to original comment will be
more useful. Now back on track. I add quotes, because it is hard to do
this (track replies).

Is that thread hijacking or you just want to say that the first point is
different? If it's the latter then - ok. I am fine that plugin will not
be enabled by default and silently accepted that.

Some (most) Linux installation are made by admins to servers, and it
won't help if message is in bold or in color.

Basically this bug is incomplete without answers to two questions:
2.2  Why official way described on Mercurial site doesn't work with Ubuntu 
(i.e. what is the technical reason)?
2.3  Why Ubuntu choose to modify it in the first place breaking the 
instructions (why Ubuntu did so)?
