this problem may be related to the fact that the xlibs-pic library,
which appears to be a dependency of quakeforge was removed after the
sarge release.

it may be easier to package r1q2 (http://www.r1ch.net/stuff/r1q2/),
which has all of the security vulnerabilities fixed and is still
maintained. it's unclear whether quakeforge is even maintained
anymore (http://www.quakeforge.net/) -- a message saying "we're back"
in march, then nothing.
