Great work :)

Quick comments on the source package (not many issues, I'm mostly
being picky about things you won't have known and it's easier with
fresh eyes, or earlier possible errors of mine):

debian/rules
DEB_DH_MAKESHLIBS_ARGS_libsword6 := -V"libsword7 (>= 1.5.11-1)"
DEB_SHLIBDEPS_INCLUDE_libsword6 := debian/tmp/usr/lib

that should be DEB*_libsword7

I think one of the complaints somewhere was that the lib wasn't built
with icu support enabled so let's add the configure option --with-icu
which is off by default

debian/diatheke.README.Debian
I've never tried this but that is my best guess of what to name the
file to be a README.Debian just for the diatheke package

debian/control
package libsword7 should 'Replaces' libsword6
diatheke - let's change the Recommends of apache2|https to Suggests

debian/copyright
let's update the copyright date to 2009

debian/diatheke.dirs
we can remove usr/lib/cgi-bin since we aren't installing anything there now

debian/libsword7.shlibs
I think that should be
libsword 7 libsword7 (>= 1.5.11-1)

debian/libsword-dev.dirs
I think these dirs should be added
usr/include
usr/include/sword
usr/lib/pkgconfig

Thanks,
Daniel
