That's a good idea. However the first iteration of debian-games is targeted at casual users who simply want to play games but don't really know what kind of games Debian has to offer. I intend to create some developer/contributor oriented metapackages later in the future. They will be tailored for certain programming languages and recommend or suggest different content packages with game data and they will also include some hints what kind of help is needed. Nevertheless I believe the best way to get involved is to contact team members at debian-devel-games or on IRC and ask for potential tasks directly.

Perhaps I spot the mistake when I get more familiar with all the background scripts. Regards, Markus
