It does seem like it. debuild is part of devscripts, which seems to be 
very specific for debian packager maintainers (not just for building .debs).

If you have experience building mercurial from source, can you look at 
https://github.com/fink/fink-distributions/issues/746 ? Trying to update 
from our older 5.2 to 5.5.2, but many tests are failing (I know nothing 
about mercurial).
