There was a lot of discussion on d-mentors about this, and unfortunately
I got a bit lost. I had the impression that Alexander Schmehl would
sponsor your package, but maybe I misunderstood. I see that no upload
was made.

Do you still need a sponsor? How has the package come along? Do you have
it online somewhere?

Personally, I would prefer small, incremental changes and integration
with the pkg-games team SVN repo. First, get the package infrastructure
in shape according to the pkg-games team guidelines. (Maybe that's done
already, I didn't check.) Second, if the upstream tarball has to be
changed, preferably write a script to do it and include that in the
Debian diff, so the sponsor can verify the repackaging. With those two
steps done, you can start fixing bugs and tweaking the build.

The point is to make it easy to see the purpose of each change, so that
sponsoring becomes as easy and fast as possible -- then you won't have
to be afraid that your sponsor(s) will take forever to make an upload.

Cheers,
