Bug#256283: debianizing pylucene



OK, so here it is then. I don't think it got into the bug so I'm attaching Jeff's critique of my initial packaging. I have not found time to address any of these so if anyone want's to give it a go, feel free to use http://jlb.distractionlabs.com/python-pylucene_r91.tar.gz as a starting point.

Ok.  Good first pass. How can I best help improve things. Here's a quick list
of what I noticed first.

For me, "debuild -us -uc" chokes due to the extra newline in debian/control
Fix is easy enough.

Standards-Version in debian/control refers to Debian's policy standards.
Set to 3.6.1

Package version number (in changelog) should be set to something like
0.91-1 (the first value is the upstream version number, and the second value is the Debian package revision number).

Why is there only a python-2.3 package? Is that all pylucene supports?

Lintian gives a number of warnings and errors. All those need to be fixed.
Do you need help with them? The native-package-with-dash-version can
be fixed by making sure the upstream tarball is around with a special
name (PACKAGE-VERISION.orig.tar.gz) as described in some of the
documentation.

Cheers,
Jeff
