I've just added Mercury ROTD 2018-11-14.  The packages begin with
mercury-rotd rather than mercury so that you won't be automatically upgraded
off of the stable versions.  Debian will refuse to install both at the same
time (by design).  amd64 only for now, i386 is failing to build.

Good luck.

Does anyone care about older Debian-like systems, like jessie or Ubuntu
16.04?  I've only done these for stretch and don't have any need to backport
them myself, if someone else would like this I'll try.
