-\item[Ubuntu] Ubuntu's Mercurial package is particularly old, and you
-  should not use it.  If you know how, you can rebuild and install the
-  Debian package.  It's probably easier to build Mercurial from source
-  and simply run that; see section~\ref{sec:srcinstall:unixlike} for
-  details.
+\item[Ubuntu] Ubuntu's Mercurial package is based on Debian's.  To
+  install it, run the following command.
+  \begin{codesample4}
+    apt-get install mercurial
+  \end{codesample4}
+  The Ubuntu package for Mercurial tends to lag behind the Debian
+  version by a considerable time margin (at the time of writing, seven
+  months), which in some cases will mean that on Ubuntu, you may run
+  into problems that have since been fixed in the Debian package.
