32-bit or 64-bit, depending on how you built Sphinx; by default it
builds with 32-bit

Title:
Would be nice to either enable this by default or create two packages,
on with 64 bit ID's enabled. Just about everyone uses 64 bit ID's with
Sphinx.
Thanks for making the Sphinx 2 package though. I tried pulling the
sources into the 0.9 deb structure and gave up wailing and gnashing my
teeth!
