We've only been using Sphinx II (Sphinx 2).  sphinx3 may not meet your needs.

As a Debian user (I am one also), Sphinx is a package which is included.  You should install that.
 But, you'll also need to download SphinxTrain (I don't think it's a Debian package). 
(Unfortunately, the SphinxTrain stuff is mostly on the Wiki which, as you read from Jessica, is
still down.)
