Bug#256283: PyLucence Debian Package

[Matthew O'Connor <matthew@canonical.org>]

Thanks Jeff!  I have no time line in mind.  The sooner the
better I suppose since this is the head space I am in right
now.  Using the following checklist as a guide:

    http://people.debian.org/~mpalmer/sponsorship_checklist.html

I'd have to assume the next step, for me, is to try and get
the package to build in Unstable.  While the next step for
you would be to look over my debian/* files for sanity.
Does that sound right?  If that's right then we can proceed
asynchronously for now.  I can try to get it to go on Sid
and you can respond with comments/suggestions on the stuff
I've already linked to once you get a chance.  Here's the
url again:

    http://panacea.canonical.org/~matthew/pylucene-debian.tar.gz

On a related note I'm mostly, but not exclusively,
interested in this making it into backports.org.  You have
any idea how that happens?  I'm still interested in seeing
PyLucene in Unstable but having a backports.org package
available for Sarge would be neat too.  However, first
things first I suppose.

As for Ubuntu, no connection.  About a decade ago a bunch of
my friends and I bought canonical.org based on the famous
Richard Stallman / Guy Steele quote "You just used
'canonical' in the canonical way".

Thanks Again!
