I don't know what tools mercurial's 'make deb' expects to be present. If 
it just runs something similar to 'make install DESTDIR=foo; dpkg-deb -b 
BARdir FOO.deb' then perhaps it might generate a .deb that the debian 
tools we carry might read (as long as it was compiled on a macOS 
machine). However, I don't know if Fink itself would understand a .deb 
created outside of fink.

It's not too difficult to run 'make deb', then see what happens.
