(Sweet, that means you're refreshing/creating your local dev environment!)

That's python-xapian, as you discovered.

It's available from the Debian stable "backports" repositories, which in 
general are a safer place to pull packages from than unstable, which is 
what you did.

See http://packages.debian.org/lenny-backports/python-xapian

Would you be willing to read through http://backports.debian.org/ and 
write an update to the README.mkd file that points there for 
python-xapian?
