> what would be a proper way to import new vendor release to mercurial?

Thanks for all suggestions. 
I have decided for this procedure:
  tar -xvzf /tmp/new.tgz
  mv repo/.hg* new/
  rm -rf repo
  mv new repo
  cd repo
  hg addremove -s 80
  hg commit -m "new release"

For the archive command, I use:
  <set ui.archivemeta=false in ~/.hgrc>
  cd repo
  hg archive -r <rev> -X ".hg*" ../target

I have also put a comment to devel mailing list:
