Thanks for your suggestions Jérémy. I've added the docs from the source
package, and added a README.Debian file in with some additional
instructions.
As regards the watch file, this is correct. Currently the download site
gives a 403 Forbidden on the downloads directory:
www.sphinxsearch.com/downloads and I've reported this as a bug to
upstream. When this is made available, I'll add the watch file, but for
now this is useless.
New upload in place on mdn.
Tom
