Without the blank line, the minirst parser renders
Term-1

Line-2
Term-2
Line-1
as
Term-1
Line-1
Line-2 Term-2 Line-1
because the second term is seen as a paragraph.
Inspired by critique given on StackOverflow where a user writes:
I can have a good guess at what "%USERPROFILE%" might signify but
none of the files listed in the "hg help config" output exist after
running the installer. Previous experience would suggest that
missing files mean something somewhere has gone seriously wrong.

Remove the `install_package_data' subclass of `install_data' and use
the `package_data' functionality provided by distutils instead. As
package data must be located within the package directory, the data
files are now generated in the build directory.
To simplify the functionality of this change, the top-level `doc' and
`templates' directories have been moved into the `mercurial' package
directory.
