retitle 491329 commit-tool: causes hg error messages if removed but not purged
thanks

I do not really see why you want to raise the severity to such a level.
I'm downgrading it again. I'm also giving it back its more generic title.
If you want to give information about ANOTHER bug, then open a new bug please.
The fact is that
* the package 'commit-tool' will NEVER remove its config file on removal
(only in purge). It would be against strong Debian policy requirements.
=> nothing can be done in commit-tool
* mercurial is designed to print a message on its error output when an
extension cannot be loaded.
=> you can try to open a bug for this... (upstream because this will not
be a kind of patch that can be applied only in a Debian package of the
software)
But I find myself that mercurial is sane here
* the hgk extension breaks when mercurial sends it some kind of data (messages
on stderr)
=> this is probably the real root of error. If you agree with me, you should
open a bug for this (the best would be a bug upstream and then a bug in
Debian that reference this upstream bug)
Because, if I read correctly your short report, you complain about the
hgk extension not working as soon as mercurial emits some of its standard
warning messages. Any extensions (not just commit-tool) will trigger this
bad behavior of hgk if they call not be loaded.
Regards,
Vincent
