It seems that that's something you'll have to work out with the Mercurial
package maintainer.  A postinstall script can certainly check to see if
templates have changed, and if they have either leave them in place, or
even merge in new changes, if you can work out a good way to do that
without prompting the user.

This is the right list.  If you put mercurial in the subject, the
maintainer will probably see it.

Good luck,
Andrew.
