THIS is clearly the bug. How can you possibly not see this? The Debian
package for a python module should install that module under the same
name that it is DESIGNED to have and DOCUMENTED to have upstream, and
EXPECTED to have by anyone using its API.

The whole point of installing a python module named `foo' is that, once
installed, Python code that does `import foo' should work as expected.
If `apt-get install foo' installs the foo module as `baz' instead, that
completely defeats the purpose of installing `foo', and breaks all code
that tries to import foo!

The mercurial-git package is clearly BROKEN if it is installing a
package named `hggit' as something else! The whole point of installing
`hggit' is that code written to `import hggit' and use the hggit API
should work unmodified! You've broken the advertised and documented API
of the upstream project!
