Note that this is just the rpm spec. It was a simple fix, but has
already caused more trouble and discussion than it is worth. If nobody
cares then we can leave it as it is, slightly broken.
I suggest that hgk is officially deprecated in main now and not bundled
with Mercurial 1.6. It can continue to be hosted elsewhere for the few
who uses it.
