I'm not a DD just wanted to see how to used docbase... But here are my 2 russian kopejkas.

(just %: dh @ with overrides) Or is there a _specific_ reason for debhelper 5 compatability? (lenny has debhelper 7 so it should be easy to backport) With debhelper 7 your rules will become much smaller. See man dh and other revelant for details. 2) rules - please consider running the test suite here (*hint* needs a variable in rules) 3) copyright - there is DEP#5 proposal for the machine parsable copyright file (it's not a rule or anything). If you like it try using it. [1] 4) changelog I'm sure that it should be (Closes: #NNNNN) e.g. [2] 5) control - are you using a version control system for your packaging? (I would suggest you do, bzr-builddeb and git-buildpackage are very strong contenders and both support pristine-tar, ie. saving a small binary delta to regenerate an identical tarball at build-time) 6) control - I'm sure your long description is too short (it's abscent)..... Now running lintian with following options -i -I -v -E --pedantic gives this: P is for pedantic (eg. not all agree on it); X is for eXperimental - lintian might got it wrong; I is Informational. I's you should correct. P and X - choose and pick N: Processing source package sphinxsearch (version 0.9.8.1-1) ...
