That is not a description, that's just the full name. What does this
package do? I cannot find any answer in the long description either. The
project website mentions that it is an "enterprise search server". Still
vague, but I guess it is something equivalent to htdig. Both the short
and long description should make clear that this is a web-based search
engine/server/whatever.

There is no need to mention that this is a Debian package. Also, the URL
to the project page is already in the Homepage: header, there is no need
to repeat it.

The rest of the description reads like a manual page, not like a
description of the features of Solr.
Then, where does the name "Apollo" come from? I do not see any
reference to that name on the Solr website.
Finally, it seems Solr is already packaged by the Debian Java
Maintainers, see http://packages.debian.org/solr-tomcat5.5. If there is
anything in your package that is not in theirs, please coordinate with
them.
