This is not a bug.  The INSTALL file, as John mentioned, documents the installation procedure when you have downloaded a tarball of source code.

For quick instructions for building from Mercurial see the file etc/HACKING.md.

the INSTALL file is autogenerated by autotools, and describes the usage for installing from the released sources tarbar, not from the mercurial repo.

There is a file INSTALL with installation description.
If I do what is said there, it wont work.
I miss bootstrap.
Also I feel in the manual, Appendix E, the INSTALL file shall be mentioned. Maybe ending txt would be nice.
