The setuptools tracker is for "generic" setuptools issues:

  http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/

Depending on the implementation, you might need to patch the plugin used
to get setuptools to recognize your "under versino control" files with
Mercurial, e.g.

  http://pypi.python.org/pypi/hg.setuptools

or:

  http://bitbucket.org/jezdez/setuptools_hg/wiki/Home
