There's no actual detail on what manual intervention is needed.  What
was not clean about the upgrade?

Well, you have to follow the instructions in
/usr/share/doc/mediawiki1.7/README.Debian.gz

Here are the steps:

Upgrading from 1.5 to 1.7 package:
The upgrade path is really easy compared to 1.4 - 1.5 upgrade.
.
A rapid sketch of what you need to do is as follow:
1) Dump your database to a text file.
mysqldump --add-drop-table -u user -p my-database  
/path/to/file.sql
2) Copy the configuration files from /etc/mediawiki1.5 to 
/var/lib/mediawiki1.7 and make the
m writable for
 your webserver user -- usualy www-data.
cp /etc/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php /var/lib/mediawiki1.7
cp /etc/mediawiki/AdminSettings.php /var/lib/mediawiki1.7 (if 
exists)
3) change your working path to /var/lib/mediawiki1.5:
cd /var/lib/mediawiki1.7
4) Execute the update script:
php maintenance/update.php
   This shall need a proper php5 binary, as provided in php5-cli
5) Execute the rebuildall script:
php maintenance/rebuildall.php
6) Copy the old upload directory:
cp -rf /var/lib/mediawiki1.5/upload/* 
/var/lib/mediawiki1.7/upload/
You are done !
See configuration section of /etc/mediawiki1.7.confile-location for 
details about
the place where configuration files may be placed.

BTW, this is standard operating procedure for mediawiki upgrades in
Debian, which is why each mediawiki* package has its version number
appended in the packagename.
