Some hints about the chef package in Debian:
- Debian has (6-month-old) 0.8.16-4.1, while upstream is at 0.9.12
- popcon show 41 installation (2 recent) for the chef binary package and
2 (0 recent) for the chef-solr binary package
- there is an RC bug for chef-solr (#604231, installation fails because
of nodedown)
Thus, I think the best thing would be to remove chef from squeeze (new
bugs created), so then we can remove solr as well.

Given that chef-solr was not in lenny, the above applies to solr only.
However, I should say that I do not know at all a good migration path.
