These all look like installing the package with the wrong options to
‘configure’, but that's a guess.

Either write something useful in the README.Debian, or remove it if
it's
not needed for the package.

Perhaps Lintian was never run on this package before uploading it?
This has now been re-uploaded. The manpages don't exist, and as
there is
no ITP bug, it can't close it, so those warnings remain. Apart from
that
it appears to me to be clean.
Hi!
I'm not a mentor or DD, but you can:
1. Write man pages yourself - pick template from
/usr/share/debhelper/dh_make/debian/manpage.1.ex
2. Open an ITP bug for sphinxsearch yourself - just file a bug (using
reportbug tool) against wnpp package.

My 2 cents :)

I now have an ITP bug resolved and manpages. This package is now lintian
clean according to lintian :)
i just had a quick look at it (as a novice), as i'm willing to use it :
- usr/sbin is listed in debian/dirs but not really used ?
- watch file is missing
- /usr/share/doc/sphinxsearch should contain the doc provided by sphinx
source tarball, such doc should be properly registered using doc-base
and docs file.
- provide a README in the /usr/share/doc/sphinxsearch so that once the
package is installed, one knows what's left to do to get it working

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.
Well, you should try
http://www.sphinxsearch.com/downloads.html
:)
exemple of line in the watch file (although maybe the regexp part is wrong) :

# Compulsory line, this is a version 3 file
version=3
http://www.sphinxsearch.com/downloads.html http://www.sphinxsearch.com/downloads/sphinx-([\d\.]*).tar.gz

Jérémy.
