Right.

Something like this in an appropriate place in %install should work 
(untested):

find $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{python_sitearch}/{mercurial,hgext}/* -type d \
| sed -e "s|^$RPM_BUILD_ROOT\(.*\)|%%dir \1|" >> %{name}-base+hg.lang.files

(Or drop the "/*" and the explicitly listed mercurial and hgext %dir's you now 
have in %files.)
