I will take care about the above issues.
But I am not sure whether Recommned-ed packages are installed by default
in Ubuntu. Are they installed by default in Debian?

The latest release of zekr is 0.6.0 needing lucene2 cannot be prepared
as a free package for Debian yet.
So any changes you ask me to apply to the source upstream tar.gz will be
reflected on the previous version of zekr, and I think will not be
beneficial to anyone. Are you still really insist on importing orig one
instead of .dfsg?

If you mean upstream tarball, I cannot touch
http://www.siahe.com/zekr/download/zekr-0.5.1-linux.tar.gz
 , because http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/x11/zekr
refers to that one as it is.

I think the quality of the zekr package is elevated
by your and Mohammed Sameer's valuable comments.

Thank you,
