automation: use LSB_RELEASE instead of DEBIAN_VERSION This should be more robust since I believe the minor version can change mid release. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6910

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
