I am quite surprised you need to do that since you say you installed from Debian packages. All the installations I have done through the Debian packages always have the zebra incremental indexing properly set in cron and it is usually set to run every 5 minutes. You can check your cron settings to make sure that this is properly set and enabled to run regularly.

I don't think you need to run it manually. That is as per my own experience.
