searx: Package searx-admin for Debian

Searx is extremely customizable. For example, one can choose the search engines involved in a query. However, currently, most of these options are not available to FreedomBox users of Searx unless they go to the command line and edit the configuration file. searx-admin package solves this problem by providing a way to configure Searx using a beautiful web interface. searx-admin needs to be packaged for Debian before it can become available in FreedomBox.

Tasks:

• Package material-design-lite for Debian separately as libjs-material-design-lite. This is embedded into searx-admin code base.
• Package searx-admin for Debian and use the libjs-material-design-lite package as dependency. This may need a small patch to use the Debian library instead of the embedded one.

A Debian request for packaging bug has been filed. It serves as the authority for tracking the progress on the issue while this issue is created for FreedomBox contributors to easily find the issue. Update the Debian bug when you start working on packaging.
