Documentation and other changes for solr

Hi,

Firstly, thank you for the Debian Wheezy solr packages.

1. Having spent some time grappling with the installation and set up of
solr, I'd like to add a few things to the Debian documentation.
Presumably adding to /usr/share/doc/solr-common/README.Debian is the
best thing to do, or have I missed some other existing documentation?

2. I created a multi-instance solr set up. This doesn't work
particularly well with the layout as installed in the package, as
everything needs to be moved to a layer lower within /etc/solr.
Presumably it is too late to change this default behaviour in the
package of a future version?

3. I see that "dataimporthandler-extras, clustering, extraction and
velocity" are not available due to missing dependencies. Are there any
plans to include these at a later date? If not, where is the recommended
path to install them locally? I have used /usr/local/lib, but not sure
if this is the best place.

Thanks,

Andy
