I had some response from Victor here on october 9th. It seems there is
the base of some package, including some quilt patches. He raised the
question of whether the database should be configured and if upgrades
should be done, I advised against it for now.

I have also encouraged Victor to keep this bug report in CC and to
publish his work so that others can pickup on it.

I have myself tried to install wallabag by hand on Debian jessi and it's
been fairly painful. I have opened the following documentation PRs and
bug reports:

https://github.com/wallabag/documentation/pull/5
https://github.com/wallabag/documentation/pull/4
https://github.com/wallabag/wallabag/issues/891

I had to install the php5-tidy package, but that was probably
optionnal. I *tried* to use twig from the debian archive, but
failed. wallabag seems to expect a "vendor" directory with symphony,
twig and twig-extensions directories which don't seem to map very well
with the packaged versions. at the very least twig-extensions is
missing.

i have mostly given up on wallabag at this point as it totally failed to
import any bookmarks i would throw at it:

i'm also worried about the code quality (PHP and quick inspection),
especially after this discussion:

https://github.com/wallabag/wallabag/issues/687#issuecomment-44490241

They are doing a major code rearchitecture effort, which is nice, but i
think it would have been better spent at porting the iOS and Android
apps to bookie and improving bookie than anything else.

As things stand, I can't use wallabag.
