That would actually be nice. I've got packaging up and usable on
launchpad. If you'd like to look at it:

https://launchpad.net/~pkg-sphinx/+archive

Otherwise, let me know where to stick them and I'll make a new source
package that's actually targeted at Debian.

And I've been meaning to push the SphinxSE patch into the pkg-mysql
tree... I've just been a little busy. :)

I need to update this to a later version - but this would be ok for now
I think.
