So I replied that I hoped my package would be sponsored soon (in November last year): in the hope that his package would soon follow after, after he'd put it on mentors.debian.net. It looks like he put it there on 27 november 2006 and asked for sponsorship, as well. At first sight it doesn't seem to contain the entities.def and default_shaderlist.txt files though so it seems incomplete. It could be that there are now also data packs for doom3 and quake4 but it remains to be seen what the copyright on the artwork is for those.
