My original idea was to put some description like that in all the packages in
the wiki page, and link them from http://wiki.debian.org/Games/Development
It might be nice to put that in http://wiki.debian.org/Games/foobillard

I'll try to have a look at it when I have some time. We should inject the code
into the svn server, when your login is added to the list (as soon as you tell
me, I'll add it). If you need some help with that, I can help :) (It took me
quite a long time to learn, so don't worry if you don't know how to do it, I
can tell you the steps you need to take).
Greetings,
Miry
