Dej is correct.
tracker and tracker-search-tool are already available from my private
repository, and soon will be from the official Debian (and also
Ubuntu) archive for feisty and unstable.
tracker-search-tool has been splitt off into a separate binary package
already, so that the core tracker component has no Gnome dependencies.

About the nautilus integration: It's simply a matter of compiling
nautilus with the --enable-tracker option. One of the Debian Gnome
maintainers already contacted me about this. When tracker is available
in the Debian archive he will compile nautilus with this option
enabled.

With regard to the deskbar integration, I still have not decided yet,
if the tracker package should ship the python script or if I contact
the deskbar-applet maintainer, so he includes it into the
desbar-applet package directly.

So when this is all in place, there is nothing really one has to do,
to get the full tracker integration into Gnome.
A simple "apt-get install tracker" and optionally "apt-get install
tracker-search-tool" is all there is to be done.
