Until the 1.6.1 version it compiled fine.
After this version, I just upload the package to our git repository and
adjusted some little things like broken sim links and removed extra
license files.

Actually Piwik install only the files in the right path without
configuring it. My idea was to use debconf template (like phpBB package
does, for example)in order to configure/settings package correctly but
my skill about debconf is very poor, so I can't do it.  

For starting again with Piwik package, this is what we need:

- upload to 1.8.1

- general package review: try to build and fix the lintian messages (I
saw the e-mail from Antoine just now but seem he has already discovered
many problems)

- debian/copyright: it needs to be reviewed again

- add debconf template 

- swf files: understand what we can do with these files (old mine
message on d-mentors about this
http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2011/03/msg00085.html )

I'm very happy to know there are other people interested in packaging
Piwik! That's a good news!
If you want, we can work all together for trying to upload (finally!! :)
Piwik in Debian.

Thanks Gunnar and thanks Antoine for your time.

Have a nice day.
Fabrizio.
